The Ruckus

See the boats. Meet the racers. Get the tattoo. Party.

Pope Marine Park & Northwest Maritime Center – map it

Give the racers a night to remember before their long, wet journey while you put faces (and hulls) to those blips on the tracker screen. Dozen of R2AK boats and crew will be spread across the Ruckus for you to check out. See the improbable craft and peer into the eyes of the marginally sane adventurers who actually choose to race.

So come on down, see some race boats on the hard, get great food and drinks, and dance it up with great music.

And get a tattoo of the R2AK logo, we’ll pay for the first 15.

We bet your life will be richer for coming to the Ruckus. And if we’re wrong? We’ll ask your buddy to pay you five bucks. Come on down. See for yourself.

All the spirit of Race to Alaska, 10% of the danger.
