PLANNER PERSPECTIVE
“The City of Hampton, and Fort Monroe in particular, allows an almost perfect location to hold an inboard hydroplane race. Mill Creek is a protected body of water that lends itself to recordsetting possibilities. Thanks to the tremendous support we have received over the years from Sports Hampton and the City, the Hampton Cup Regatta is one of the oldest and most successful races in the United States.” — Lisa Hearn Adkins, President, Chairman/Race Director, Hampton Cup Regatta
