The Goat Boater, located in Tega Cay, South Carolina is an extremely unique 6 event summer race series.

Come challenge your skills over the season as we travel back and forth from two beautiful locations in Tega Cay, South Carolina. These locations were strategically picked as they have great high up views where spectators and family will be able to view most of the race. Come to one race or come to all. Individual awards/participation medals will be given each race and series awards will be given at the end of the season to those who have the most cumulative points.
