World's Largest Long Distance Canoe Races

The world's largest long distance canoe race was started in 1972 to fulfill a need, for a way to train for the grueling Na Wahine O Ke Kai (Women) and the Molokai Hoe (Men) - long distance canoe races from the island of Molokai to the island of Oahu.

The race was named in honor of the last reigning monarch of Hawai`i as the first race fell on Queen Liliuokalani's birthday, September 2.

Since those early beginnings, the race has grown. Now there are two days of racing, with the first day being the single-hull canoe races, followed by double hull and one-person canoe races on Sunday. (See Course Map)

Crews from Hawaii, the US mainland and around the world come to enter this world class event.

Held each year on Labor Day Weekend, the fun includes a torchlight parade and dance on Saturday night, and an awards luau on Sunday.
