R2AK 2023

Begins at Northwest Maritime Center in Port Townsend

Whether it sounds like a crazy idea or a cool one, R2AK is a unique event on the Northwest calendar as it holds distinction as the first race of its kind, and as North America’s longest human and wind powered race. The idea is simple: Get yourself to Alaska all under your own paddle power. (Or simply cheer the intrepid from the starting line on June 5, if that’s more your M.O.)

Race or cruise with dozens of boats of every size as they set sail from Elliott Bay Marina Thursday nights, cross the Seattle skyline, and run back to the marina. Also popular with local boating enthusiasts, the post-regatta party has also taken on a life of its own as a great venue for building a sense of community. This year’s series kicks off on June 15th with the Elliott Bay Yacht Sales-sponsored race. Also not to be missed is the Saturday, June 24 American Parkinson Disease Association Charity Regatta that raises monies for the aforementioned organization. Fair winds!
