Outboard Marathon Nationals – August 9-10, 2025
The Top O’ Michigan Outboard Racing Club (TOMORC) started in 1949 as the Top O’ Michigan Marathon Association. The TOMORC has continued to support the region & promote the marathon for the past 77 years.
The club has 25+ active members who have continued to put on the oldest & most prestigious race in the outboard marathon circuit. The Top O’ Michigan Outboard Marathon has been the Marathon Nationals for many years.
In 2013, the Top O’ Michigan Marathon won the American Power Boat Association Kevin Ladd Award for Best Stock Outboard Race in Region 6.
Since 2019, TOMORC partnered with the Presque Isle Yacht Club to help put on the annual Fireside 500 on Grand Lake in Presque Isle, Michigan.

Volunteers Needed!
Race weekend is August 9-10, 2025
As always, we are in need of more assistance on the water as a patrol boat for the 77th Top O’ Michigan Marathon Nationals!
You will be placed along the course in order to aid racers when they break down or need a tow.
Your time is requested from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm RAIN OR SHINE!
Interested? We’d really love your help. The races will not happen without enough volunteers for safety.
