About Newport to Bermuda Race 2026
Organized by the Bermuda Race Foundation, the 635-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is the oldest regularly scheduled ocean race, and one of very few international distance races. The Bermuda Race is one of just two of the world's regularly scheduled races held almost entirely out of sight of land, the second being the Transpac. Founded in 1906, the 54th running of the Bermuda Race is scheduled for June, 2026.
Its purpose was stated in 1923 by Cruising Club of America Commodore Herbert L. Stone: "In order to encourage the designing, building, and sailing of small seaworthy yachts, to make popular cruising upon deep water, and to develop in the amateur sailor a love of true seamanship, and to give opportunity to become proficient in the art of navigation. . . ."
