Liberty World Challenge
Saturday, June 28th 2003

Greetings and welcome to the 7th annual Liberty World Challenge, hosted by New York Outrigger. Last year we had a phenomenal race drawing worldwide news coverage from Sports Network Television AP, Wall Street Journal, and the front cover of 2 local rags. This year the glove has been dropped. Team Germany is back with a vengeance (4th place a couple of years ago) and many more international teams (UK, Team France, etc.) will grace the Port of New York.

Like last year, Circle Line Statue of Liberty Ferry offers FREE front-row seats to all race participants, friends and family on Saturday 10:30AM at the stern of the aircraft carrier Intrepid. It's an experience you should not miss. For more information contact Circle Line Statue of Liberty Ferry: (212) 809-0808
