Date Set for 2026 Hospice Cup Regatta!

Mark your calendars!

Read Our Sustainability Report

Hospice Cup introduced several new initiatives in 2025 to deepen its environmental stewardship, including enhanced crew communication and new eco-impact education and programming for competitors. Together alongside registered clean regattas in more than 50 countries, we are working hard to do our part to eliminate single-use plastic and protect our waterways from waste that’s harmful to our wildlife and shorelines.
