Although the race starts in June, I think, the organizers are currently putting out podcasts introducing the entrants. You hear in their own voices each teams reason for entering, their sailing experience, about their boats, logistics and more. The podcasts come out roughly once a week and are about 1 1/2 hours long. They are audio only and you can listen on Tube if you don't podcast.
If you have any interest in the race which starts in Port Townsend and ends in Ketchikan AK. I don't think there is any handicapping, no motors, other means of propulsion are allowed. It attracts a varied cast of adventurous characters and eccentrics. Hearing their stories is fun. Knowing some of the players will enhance following the race which can be done on a race tracker and an almost daily narrative.
Search R2AK or Northwest Marine, who is the sponsor.
