2025 XInsurance Offshore Boat Race At Lake Of The Ozarks
Captain Jason N. Crites, commanding officer of Troop F, would like to inform boaters of an offshore boat race event taking place on June 21, 2025 & June 22, 2025, at the 0.0 – 3.2 mile mark on Lake of the Ozarks. Powerboat time trials will begin on June 21 at 8:00 a.m. The event will begin at 8:00 a.m. on June 22. Boating traffic in the area will be restricted to no wake and idle speed beginning at 7:30 a.m. both days. The no wake, idle speed restriction will continue to be enforced up to one hour after the last race on each day.
Every attempt will be made to minimize inconvenience to boaters navigating near the race, but boaters should expect congestion in the area. Troopers, as well as event staff, will be located around the course and will assist boaters in locating the designated areas for spectator anchoring. Spectators wishing to anchor should anticipate needing enough anchor line for water depth in excess of 100 feet.
Captain Crites urges boaters to use heightened caution while exiting the area following the event due to conditions caused by the heavy boat traffic, and to report ALL impaired operators to Troop F at 573-751-1000 or by dialing *55 on a cellular phone.
Watercraft operators must consider the effect their actions have on others: Share the waterway and use common sense, good judgment, and courtesy to ensure the safety of all. Life jackets save lives. Wear It!
