Every 4th of July celebration, the City's precision rafting teams get ready for a rematch at the annual Mayor's Cup Raft Race. It's a race against time and other City officials! You can expect to see elected officials from Federal Heights, Thornton, Broomfield, Commerce City, and Northglenn as they compete to claim VICTORY in the name of their City. The racecourse starts at the boat dock located on the southwest corner of Webster Lake at E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park. Rafters will paddle their rafts across the lake, around the big Firecracker in the lake, and then back to the boat dock.
