Results of the Saturday (Jan 31) 25th Annual East Hawaii Challenge Hawaii Island Paddlesports Association canoe race, sponsored by Sheila Cadaoas and Keaukaha General Store.
Both courses started at Richardson’s Park in Keaukaha with the 6 mile short course racers paddling straight to Hilo Bayfront with a turn under the Wailuku River Bridge. The competitors on the 10 mile long course headed southeast 1.5 miles to the “Big Rock” then turned to follow the same route to the finish line at Bayfront in front of the Paddlers of Laka’s halau.
A delicious fish taco lunch was served following the race, and awards were presented to all participants.
