The famed Washington Athletic Club in downtown Seattle will play host to the 41st annual WAC Classic & R48 Pre Qualifier, January 16-18, 2026. The WAC Classic is one of the country’s most historic events played at one of the country’s most storied venues.
“The WPH is excited to partner with the Washington Athletic Club and tournament directors Darin Barr and Randy Multack in adding the R48 Pre Qualifier to the 2026 WAC Classic,” stated the WPH’s David Fink. “The Men’s Open Singles winner at the 2026 WAC Classic will be the WAC R48 Pre Qualifier champion, earning a travel stipend and entry into one of the remaining four stops on the 2025/26 Race 4 Eight season. The WAC was home to the first two Race 4 Eight Player’s Championships and we are thrilled to team with the WAC team in 2026 in presenting the R48 Pre Qualifier at the WAC Classic.”
Expect great competition and hospitality at the Washington Athletic Club. Thank you to tournament director Darin Barr and Randy Multack and the rest of the WAC team for organizing the 2026 WAC Classic.
