Well, well, well. Looks like you signed up to paddle through the night.


Your registration is in, you’ve waxed your boat, and you’re probably starting to freeze dry homemade protein powder.
Just a few more things that we’ll need to put on your radar:

Read the 2026 Racer Packet (Again.)

This is not optional reading. This is your scripture,  and your last line of defense against terrible decisions.

Inside:

  • Race rules
  • Route logistics
  • Lighting, visibility, and safety requirements
  • Finish line procedures
  • What to do when you hallucinate near Kingston

Read it. Memorize it.

Buy Some Gear With Your Fisheries Supply Discount

Now that you’re in, our old friends at Fisheries Supply are offering you pro-level discounts on almost everything they sell.

Because gear shouldn’t be the thing that quits first.

Here’s how to get it:

  • Create an account at Fisheries Supply and log in
  • Visit this page to enter your code and read the rules
  • Use code feeleverymile to unlock your discount

Don’t share the code. This is an honor system. You’re an adventurer, not a coupon mule.

Join the Racer Forum

This is where SEVENTY48 lives between the races.
 It’s the campfire, the clubhouse, and the slightly obsessive think tank of everyone who knows what it’s like to paddle through the night.

Inside the SEVENTY48 Racer Forum on Facebook, you’ll find:

  • Gear swaps and build ideas
  • Shared fear
  • Training run invitations
  • Shuttle coordination and logistics help
  • People who understand you.

It’s where racers connect, collaborate, and occasionally commiserate.

Spread the Word

If you want to show the world what human power looks like, tag us.
We’re watching, cheering, and sharing your journey.

Follow and tag the official SEVENTY48 accounts:

  • Facebook & Instagram:@seventy48
  • Use #SEVENTY48 so we can find you

Training videos, build progress, race prep—if it’s good (and in focus), we might feature it.

Keep an eye on your email

We’ll be shooting out a few action-packed messages as the race nears. In them, we’ll update you with any small changes to the plan, let you know about vessel inspections and the Skipper’s Meeting, and maybe even give you some tips on parking in Tacoma. But only if it’s not eaten by your spam folder. So make sure it doesn’t.

See you on the starting line.
May 29, 2026. 7:00 p.m. Tacoma Waterfront.
Don’t be late. We start whether you’re there or not.
