Post-Race Entertainment

The Lake Erie islands are truly the best fun you’ll have all season! Once the racing festivities are completed join us on Put-in-Bay for post-race fun for participants and spectators alike. Treat yourself to something sweet at the Chocolate Cafe and Museum. You’ve been training hard for the race, enjoy a little well-deserved gourmet pitstop. If you’re looking for something colder, they also offer a variety of ice cream flavors. Or maybe you’d rather something warm, then you should grab a fresh cup of coffee from their cafe. Check out our DINING resource page for more options for your entire crew.

Lodging Options

Since the race is hosted on Middle Bass Island, you might be looking for accommodation close to the starting line. Reach out to 216-898-9951 for information about Middle and South Bass Island condo rentals. With that said, if you’re looking for more options just far away enough from the course, there’s plenty of options at Put-in-Bay Ohio. From larger options like villas that sleep up to 12 people to smaller options such as Victory Station, the newest hotel on the island. We have space for every type of guest and group.
