AuSable River Festival: HUP Race - Grayling Regional Chamber of Commerce

Join us for the 2025 HUP Race! Grab your kit, build your boat, and see if you can make it down the mighty AuSable!

Teams compete head-to-head in a test of creativity, engineering, and sheer paddling prowess, as they race their homemade boats down the scenic AuSable River.

Will your boat speed to the finish or sink in spectacular fashion? Six coveted trophies are up for grabs, recognizing not just speed but also style and creativity. Awards include categories for time achievements, the Miss AuSable Queen's Choice, best team spirit, and the always-hilarious "Sinker Award" for the most epic water fail.

Gather your crew, bring your ingenuity, and join us for this unforgettable race full of laughter, excitement, and friendly competition! Register now to secure your spot!
