2024 Mills Trophy Race Celebrates Centennial

4 June 2024

A long-standing tradition returns to action on the western basin of Lake Erie Friday afternoon and night. Sponsored by the Toledo Yacht Club, the Invitational Mills Trophy Race is a test of navigational skill as sailors select one of three competitive courses from Toledo Harbor Light to Put-in-Bay, South Bass Island.

Even for non-participants, the event is a spectacle to behold!

Reaching historical milestones, such as the 100th Mills Trophy Race, is a credit to all the participants, sponsors, and committee volunteers that have supported the Mills Trophy Race over the years. Thanks to all who have sailed with us in the past, and to those of you who are joining us for the first time.

This annual night race is an event which is “designed for sailors to bring out the best in sailors” and would not be possible without the participation of so many. To you sailors, we thank you for supporting the event year after year to make this such an incredible event. From the 1907 beginning to today, we sincerely appreciate your continued support I look forward to seeing all of you at the many Mills Race activities throughout the weekend both at TYC and at “The Bay”. As always, it promises to be a special celebration which is sure to be enjoyed by all.
