WA360: Racing In Place

Adventure racing that celebrates pushing limits without the constraints of too many rules or the fuss of fancy galas—just raw, unfiltered competition, right here in the Pacific Northwest.

The race is a 360(ish)-mile loop from Port Townsend to Port Townsend, threading through Washington’s waterways and bringing you within spitting distance of dozens of PNW communities. With so many eyes on you, there’s no room for slacking—whether you choose a run on Deception Pass or transiting the Swinomish Slough, there’s no easy way through. This race isn’t about making life easier. It’s about testing your grit and embracing the challenge.

When it comes to your race craft, anything that floats and abides by maritime law is eligible—whether it’s a sailboat, paddle craft, or something you cobbled together in your garage, it’s welcome in WA360.

And don’t forget—the possible conditions you could encounter are as diverse as they come. Big summer squalls, commercial traffic bearing down on you, ripping currents, windless doldrums—you’ll need to be ready to move your boat no matter what the Salish Sea throws at you, all without using your engine.
