About this Event
Experience the start of a 70-mile race across Puget Sound from the best seat in Tacoma.
Join Tacoma Rising, J Squared Investments, and an exclusive group of business leaders, developers, creatives, and innovators for a one-of-a-kind networking cruise aboard the historic WWII tugboat Chippewa.
As the sun sets over Commencement Bay, you’ll be on the water as Seventy48 begins, a 70-mile, human-powered race from Tacoma to Port Townsend. Watch as paddlers and rowers take off into the evening, beginning a journey that tests endurance, grit, and determination.
This cruise is a curated Tacoma experience designed for meaningful connections in a one-of-a-kind setting.
