The Liqui Moly Pro Watercross National Tour is kicking off its 2026 season and returning to Sebring for the sixth consecutive year April 24–26. Veterans Beach on Lake Jackson will once again host the second tour stop of the season for the nation’s oldest and one of the premier producers of professional watercross (jet ski) racing events. The event will also receive national TV exposure, with a 30-minute post-event television show airing on CBS Sports Network.

More than 100 racers and their teams from 20 states and several countries, including Brazil,
Canada, and the Cayman Islands, are expected to compete, bringing an international level of
competition to Lake Jackson. Over the last 30 years Pro Watercross has evolved into the gold
standard for jet ski racing, drawing top competitors from across the country and beyond. The
two-day event features multiple racing divisions based on ski type, engine size, and rider skill
level, offering fast-paced, high-energy competition for spectators of all ages.

“We are excited to welcome Pro Watercross back to Sebring,” said Visit Sebring Tourism
Director Casey Hartt. “As a community with a strong racing heritage, hosting this event on Lake
Jackson is a natural fit.”

Event organizers are also leaning into Sebring’s identity as a racing destination by bringing out
stand up jet ski racing on 1500CC machines that do over 70MPH and Runabout sit downs that
will reach speeds over 85 MPH in bar to bar action all with no brakess which create intense
racing excitement to the area’s freshwater lakes.

Friday afternoon you can come down and watch the teams practice on the course ahead of 4
moto format of racing that you will see all weekend long! Each racer will race 2 motos each day,
and the combined total from both days will determine who gets to stand on the podium and earn
the three layered national tour trophy! We have open pits so you can meet the racers and see the
race skis up close and personal. The best part of all of this is that the event is free for spectators!
