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, dance it up with great music, and find huge discounts on gear from Fisheries, and the Wooden Boat Chandlery.

And get a free tattoo! Yup, Clae Welch will be offering his skill and if you decide to get a tattoo of the R2AK logo, we’ll pay for it.

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.

 

SEVENTY48 Finish Line Clubhouse and Bar

June 11-12, 7 AM – 7 PM
at the Northwest Maritime Center

Cheer the SEVENTY48 racers into the finish line from the Clubhouse deck! A place for family, friends, and fans to hang out and wait for teams to arrive, second guess teams tactics, and view the hallowed yet courageous eyes of victory in every team that finishes. All ages are welcome and it’s totally free to hang out. Come have a beer,  munch on peanut M&Ms, and lounge as you wait for your buddy/partner/family/person to stagger up the beach.

SEVENTY48 Awards

June 12, 7 PM
The incredible humans that are going to actually finish SEVENTY48 will be pouring in all day wild-eyed and dehydrated, maybe even a little heat exhaustion. Who knows! What we do know is that it’s an incredible collection of racers and boats, and they’ll be there as well.

Why?

Because they’re too tired to move and are waiting to see which teams will be taking away over $11,000 in cash prizes from the event. SEVENTY48 awards are on the band stage at 7 PM. We’ll find out the winners of SEVENTY48’s four classes and the Mustang Random Hero Award.
