Published on May 30th, 2023 Race to Alaska is back for year seven with 39 teams registered to depart on June 5 from Port Townsend, WA. No motors or support allowed—the Race to Alaska (R2AK) is about the physical endurance, saltwater know-how, and the bulldog tenacity that it takes to navigate the 750 cold water miles to Ketchikan, Alaska. First place wins $10K; second place, a set of actual steak knives. On June 5, entrants embark on Stage 1, 'The Proving Ground,' from Port Townsend at 5:00 am and have 36 hours to cross the Strait of Juan de Fuca and make it to Victoria, BC.
