Margate Memorials Lifeguard Races 2026

The Margate World War II Memorial Lifeguard Races (Margate Memorials) are a favorite among lifeguards, locals and athletes of all ages.

It’s one of the few events in which you can see beach patrols from Brigantine down to Cape May, in one location.

It’s a free event where generations of lifeguards and locals gather to support & compete with one another.

The races include 1 Mile Doubles Row, Half Mile Swim, & 1000 Ft Singles Row. Contact Margate Beach Patrol headquarters for more info.
