The HOOK Race is a 189 nautical mile race on Lake Michigan held each year in July. This challenging event starts outside the harbor in Racine, Wisconsin, “hooking” through Death’s Door (Porte Des Morts passage), a narrow and often treacherous passageway between Washington Island and Wisconsin’s Door County Peninsula, continuing across Green Bay, and ending in Menominee, Michigan.
More than a place to dock your boat: We offer an incredible facility complete with full retail store, the most comprehensive service facility on Lake Michigan, and we are just steps away from downtown Manitowoc offering great dining and nightlife with small town charm.
