The Huntington Classic Regatta's power boat racing events scheduled for July 24-26 at Harris Riverfront Park will serve as boat racing's version of the Super Bowl in 2015.
The American Power Boat Association, the sanctioning body for all boat racing in the U.S., has named Huntington as host of the sport's 2015 North American Championship, the highest designation granted by the group.
"Spending quality time at the Huntington Classic Regatta and enjoying the thrills of power boat racing at Harris Riverfront Park is a summertime tradition for so many Huntington residents," Mayor Steve Williams said. "It is an honor that we have been selected as the host city of the American Power Boat Association's 2015 North American Championship. Our Regatta along the mighty Ohio River has gained the reputation as a premiere venue for the sport, and there is no question that will continue in 2015."
