FAIRFIELD, Ohio — The International Hot Rod Association announced the Miami World Powerboat Grand Prix, set for Miami October 20–26 — a landmark event signaling a new era in powerboat racing.
For the first time, the sport’s premier disciplines will come together on one stage — from the beaches of Miami to the historic Miami Marine Stadium — uniting Offshore, F1, Drag Boats, and elite PWC competition under a single championship platform.
The event will crown the first IHRA World Powerboating Champions, establishing a new global benchmark for the sport.
“This is the moment the sport comes together,” said IHRA President Leah Martin. “We’re bringing the sport’s premier powerboating disciplines, teams, and athletes into one championship environment and putting them on a stage that matches their level. Miami gives us the global platform to do it right — at scale, with purpose, and for the future of the sport.”
Set against one of the most iconic venues in racing history, the return to Miami Marine Stadium, combined with offshore competition along Miami’s coastline, creates a multi-venue championship experience unlike anything the sport has seen.
