The Race to Alaska

It's a playful movie, very much in the spirit of the engine-free race it documents

Refreshingly irreverent, boasting a more eccentric cast of characters than you’re used to seeing in nature adventure documentaries.

The photography and scenery are stunning.

'The Race To Alaska' is marvelous at not only documenting how racers work around the complications of participating in this race, but also exploring why they do it.

As tongue-in-cheek as “R2AK” often is, it's not without its moments of danger, peril, and high drama. The most intense shows a team attempting to sidestep a whirlpool measuring 30' around and 10' deep and others dealing with equally threatening riptides.
