Winners were recently announced for the 2026 Red Bull Rush Delivery race, which was Sept. 19 at Riviera Beach, 812 Wrigley Drive, Lake Geneva.
The race, hosted by Red Bull and Lake Geneva Cruise Line, featured about 30 participants who were required to jump from a moving boat onto a dock, deliver mail and return to the boat before it pulled away. The top 12 finishers of the first round advanced to a final round in which they raced on a longer outfitted dock with obstacles.
Sean Flannery took first place in the men's division with a finish of 10.75 seconds, and Jora Phillips came in first place in the women's division with a 12.88 finish. Both received a $1,500 cash prize.
"I don't think I've ever jumped off a moving boat, but it was super fun," Flannery said in a press release.
Phillips said she also enjoyed participating in the race.
"It was really a fun day with some of my friends and the other competitors at Red Bull Rush delivery," Phillips said. "The toughest part was definitely the last delivery."
Second-place finishers included Elias Clark in the men's division and Molly McEneany in the women's division. Both received $750.
Marie Nickolette came in third place in the women's division, and Matthew Lacher took third place in the men's division, as they both received a $500 cash prize.
The race is inspired by Lake Geneva Cruise Line's mailboat delivery tours, which is operated by Gage Marine.
