3 Boys Tank and Vac River Rumble 200

July 31, August 1 &2, 2026
Whitecourt, Alberta

Set against the scenic backdrop of Whitecourt, this race is a true among competitors and it’s easy to see why. The course delivers an exciting mix of tight, technical corners and varied terrain that challenges even the most seasoned racers. Hosted at the Whitecourt River Boat Park, the event is equally impressive for spectators, featuring bleacher seating, a beer garden, and an unbeatable view of the action.

For those looking to stay close to the excitement, off-grid camping is available right at River Boat Park for $100 per camper (first come, first served). Prefer full hookups? Nearby options include Sagitawa RV Park and Whitecourt Lions Campground, both within walking distance of the race site.

The weekend kicks off Friday with the Show N’ Shine at the Crown and Anchor Pub from 4 PM – 8 PM. It’s the perfect chance to grab great food and drinks, meet the race teams, and get your program signed before the engines roar bright and early the next day.

Racing takes place Saturday and Sunday at River Boat Park. Mornings feature the Long Leg Races, while afternoons bring the fan-favorite circuit races—fast-paced, high-adrenaline action you won’t want to miss. The same exciting schedule runs both days.
Awards will be presented Sunday following the circuit races in the pavilion. With the long weekend in full swing, teams and spectators are encouraged to stick around Sunday night to soak in the atmosphere, share stories, and maybe even sneak in one more boat ride on Monday.

With boats reaching speeds of up to 160 mph, this is one event everyone should experience at least once. But fair warning once you do, it won’t be your last.

Note: No spectator vehicles will be allowed at River Boat Park during the event. There will be a free shuttle for spectators.
