We’re thrilled to announce that the Odyssey Rat Race will return for a third year, and we have added a brand new distance option to bring even more fun to open water swimmers of all skill levels.

What is the Odyssey Rat Race?

What is the Rat Race? Is it a race against the clock? A state of mind? Somewhere in between? Our annual Race Race is a celebration of our amazing community and our way of saying thank you. Whether you’re in it for the prize, or just in it for the love of the water– Rat Race is what you make of it. 

In addition to the 3k (1.86 mi) race, there will be a 1.5k (0.93 mi) course. This course will turn at a buoy before reaching Rat Rock.

Swimmers are provided with official times and winners are announced at the conclusion of the race, where swimmers and their families are invited to join a catered lunch, with food provided for free for all participants and available for purchase for spectators.

The Odyssey Rat Race is open to all experience levels, and no membership is required. Any swimmer comfortable swimming for two miles is welcome to participate.
