Intro

The wildest rubber boat race of the year on Lake Lucerne!

Red Bull Navigators is the wildest rubber boat race of the year and will make its debut on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at the beautiful Lido Luzern. We’re looking for teams of three who are up for some action, team spirit, and creative costumes.

The format is simple: pump, run, paddle, and conquer challenges. On Lake Lucerne, it’s not just about speed and impressive outfits—it’s also about balance, communication, team spirit, and strength. The fun doesn’t end after the race: Day Dance and a great atmosphere await you on the beach! Sign up now, round up a team, and join the legendary race.

How does the race work?

Red Bull Navigators is divided into three stages, each of which challenges you in a different way. Once you’ve grabbed your rubber boat—which, by the way, you get to keep—here’s what you’ll do:

1. Inflate: The race starts at the starting gun: You’ll inflate your rubber boat as fast as possible.

2. Race: Then grab your boat and race toward the water. Here, speed, teamwork—and, of course, your costume—count.

3. Paddling & completing challenges: As soon as you’re in the boat, it’s time to paddle. On the water, various obstacles and challenges await you that will test your strength, coordination, and balance. After a short slalom course, you’ll head for the home stretch—on foot again from the shore, of course.

We’ll crown a winning team in several categories:

- The team with the best costume—so dress up in style!

- The team with the fastest time—speed is rewarded, but it’s not the be-all and end-all.

- The team with the most average time—that is, the one that crosses the finish line exactly between the fastest and the slowest team. With a little luck, that could mean a spot on the podium.

What can you expect at Red Bull Navigators?

The entry fee is CHF 36.00 per team. This includes:

- Admission to Lido Luzern

- A starting spot for your team of three

- 1 rubber boat per team, which you get to keep

- 1 goodie bag per person

The prizes for the winners of the three categories are:
