After some discussions re the date for next year's Don Aronow Around Long Island Marathon, we wanted to be as flexible as possible, to allow the British teams to return for another shot at the trophy.

So we have moved the date back one week to later in the month of September, the date for next year is......

Saturday..September, 24, 2011

We will have more next week re the class breakdown.

Some areas we have already agreed on....No canopy boats allowed and no turbine boats allowed..

So you have just under a year to get ready for this 271 mile return to real open ocean racing.

We welcome all racers and anyone who always wanted to be a racer like the old days.
