For the first time in Bayview Mackinac Race history, the Bayview Mackinac Race Foundation has created an official commemorative Challenge Coin honoring the 102nd running of the race.

Only 200 coins were produced.

This limited-edition release is more than a collectible, it is a tribute to the sailors, volunteers, families, and supporters who have carried this Great Lakes tradition forward for more than a century, while helping support the future of the Bayview Mackinac Race through the Bayview Mackinac Race Foundation.

🔹 Official 2026 Bayview Mackinac Race Challenge Coin
🔹 Limited to just 200 coins
🔹 Commemorates the historic 102nd running
🔹 Proceeds benefit the Bayview Mackinac Race Foundation

Whether you raced this year, volunteered, followed the fleet, celebrated on Mackinac Island or simply love the tradition of the Bayview Mackinac Race, this is an opportunity to own a lasting piece of its history.

Once these 200 coins are gone, this inaugural edition will not be reproduced.

Challenge coins are a time-honored tradition, and Zach had the opportunity to trade with Port Huron Harbormaster Mike Davenport, receiving a Port Huron Police Coin in return. It's a reminder of the incredible partnerships and people who help make the Bayview Mackinac Race possible each year. ⛵🤝

For the first time in Bayview Mackinac Race history, the Bayview Mackinac Race Foundation has created an official 2026 Challenge Coin to commemorate the 102nd running of the race and more than a century of Great Lakes sailing.

This inaugural coin is being sold exclusively by the Bayview Mackinac Race Foundation, with proceeds supporting the Foundation's mission to preserve and strengthen the race for generations to come.
