End to End Race

2026 Okanagan End-to-End Regatta

Welcome to the 2026 Okanagan End-to-End Regatta!

Join us for two days of spectacular open-water racing on beautiful Okanagan Lake. Covering approximately 50 nautical miles, this annual event brings sailors from across the valley together for one of the Okanagan’s premier racing experiences.

The End-to-End Race will run from Vernon to Penticton, covering the full length of Okanagan Lake. After an early start on Saturday morning at the Vernon Yacht Club, day one finishes at the Kelowna Yacht Club, with an overnight stop before the fleet continues south on day two. The race wraps up Sunday afternoon at the Penticton Yacht Club. The change from September to June takes advantage of longer daylight hours, opening the door to a more complete run of the course.
