The NIYA Race Committee has called the 2023 Regatta tentatively on for March 3 – 5,  2023 at Lake Kegonsa, Madison Wisconsin.

The lake currently has 15 inches of ice, with a slushy surface from the recent snow that will melt quickly.

The rain event that starts tonight will revise the surface a good deal. The lake will be checked Wednesday morning to see if it is still viable for the Regatta. The final call will be made by noon or earlier on Wednesday.
