Upcoming Events...

The Celebrate the Fox Corn Roast was a great success this year. Thank you to all of the donors, sponsors, and those who were in attendance.

No-Wake and Navigational Buoys...

The City of Omro no-wake buoys were recently installed by the club and the navigational buoys will be set by early-May, weather permitting. Thanks to all of the people who helped with this annual task.

Buoy Installation Date Changed...

On May 19th, 2009, the City of Omro agreed to change the date buoys are installed in the river from April 15th to May 1st. The Fox River Runners requested the change because unpredictable spring weather and high, cold water often created dangerous conditions for maneuvering and placing buoys.

The Fox River Runners Boat Club annually installs, removes, maintains and purchases no-wake and navigation buoys as a public service to the city and residents of Omro and area boaters. Buoys are placed from Eureka to Lake Butte des Morts.
