Hi, Down south (back east, Pennsylvania), if we made plans for such an event on the east coast, I believe we would have to inform the Coast Guard of our plans. This would be important up where you are, since it would be the USCG that would get the call to send helicopters and boats to hunt for paddlers attempting to become crab bait. Alaska State authorities should also have an interest in this race. If you want to avoid the considerable likelihood that paddlers involved would make paddlers in general look like idiots, and perhaps provoke rule making exercises by Government-- just keep those fellows informed about the idiotic plans being made for the use of their rescue services. What does the Release Waiver for the event have to say?
