Dig out your best eye patch and polish up your favourite wooden leg for the Maritime Race Weekend and you will be a winner!

Everyone (that’s right, we said EVERYONE) that dresses up as a pirate to run this year’s race will get $5 off their registration for next year.

Have a costume that out-swashbuckles all others?  You could win even more! United by Running is giving away six $100 cash prizes for the top best dressed pirates – we will award three on Friday night and three on Saturday.

That’s not all though! Show up wearing our official Maritime Race Weekend pirate tattoo and you’ll have a chance to win one of two free registrations for next year’s race.

Now that you know how much fun pirates can have, get working on your costume! The last one to get dressed up has to walk the plank!!
