The Race to Alaska will hold its 8th edition in 2024, continuing with its 750-mile course from Port Townsend, WA to Ketchikan, AK. And now there is a podcast series prior to the June 9 start. This episode highlights a team from Seattle that’s quizzed by the one and only Nikki Henderson, and another from San Francisco lightly grilled by Race Boss Jesse:

Team Natural Disaster
This poetic team from Seattle, riding a proven Olson 30 dubbed Wildfire to the starting line, got together with past race winner Nikki and chatted truffle butter, the steak knife distribution plan, and the sweet sweet claustrophobia of R2AK confined race course.

Team Hullabaloo
Atop their Corsair F31R, Team Hullabaloo intends to show the rest of the fleet their transom and make haste to Ketchikan to pick up a few extra bucks. Father and son Jonathan and Jacob, along with Jay and Bill, chat with the Race Boss.
