The North American Vasa is a 100% volunteer run nonprofit. It takes a village to pull it off every year: over 200 volunteers, 40 sponsors, 10 volunteer board members, not to mention all the coaches, supporters, and cheerleaders that get racers to the starting line.

We are overflowing with gratitude 💙💛
