LOOR courses to run in Canadian waters for 2025

Apr 15, 2025

After some racers expressed concern about travelling to the US, LOOR conducted a survey of all the LOSHRS racers. The results of the survey were decisively in favour of altering the courses to remain in Canadian waters. The LOOR committee, along with some Ambassadors who were attending the meeting, decided that, for the safety and security of all our racers, this will apply to all our races in 2025.  

The affected races are the Susan Hood Trophy Race, The Lake Ontario 300/600, LOSHRS Race 2 and 3, and LOSHRS Race 4. The Race Committee is working to set new altered courses for all five races using feedback from the LOOR Ambassadors, and we will publish them as soon as they are available.  

We thank all the LOSHRS racers for their feedback and hope that this will accommodate all our LOOR racers. As always, we listen to our racers and welcome any feedback on this decision.
