SEVENTY48 Race

WHAT: SEVENTY48 aka 70 miles in 48 hours. Rules are simple: no motors, no support, and no wind. That’s right. HUMAN POWER ONLY. Pedal, paddle, or row. We don’t care. It’s up to you. (And this is a boat race. Leave your 10 speed-towing-a-canoe idea at home.)

WHEN: Race Start: Friday June 5, 2020. Application deadline: April 15, 2020 Tax Day Sucka!!! Registration deadline: April 30, 2020. Gun goes off at 7 p.m., and teams have 30 minutes to cross the start line. (And p.m. is not a typo. We know what it means and so do you.) 

WHERE: Tacoma to Port Townsend. First find Tacoma, Washington. The race starts at the head of Tacoma’s Thea Foss Waterway near the Museum of Glass. Next find Port Townsend. That’s where you hope to end. Only two checkpoints are required: A boat and a bridge. Here’s the route map.
