The Benson Cup
The Benson Cup is a race named after Father Benson who
ministered to the people of San Juan County for many years. He had a small
boat that he used to travel from island to island. From that boat came a
copper tea pot which became the Benson Cup Trophy. The race has been run
since 1981 and the course is from Jones Island around Waldron Island and
back, a distance of 15 miles.
The proceeds from the race are given to the Children's House
a local San Juan County charity.
As far as we know the fastest elapsed time in this event was
put in by Charles Mottl's Ginny in 2001 with a time of 2:04:01
