Saturday: Wa'a Kaukahi (single hull canoes)
The women start this event paddling 18 miles from Kailua Bay to Honaunau. The men then bring it back 18 miles to Kailua Bay. The Ironman divisions do so with no changes! Same team takes it all the way!

Sunday: Wa'a Kaulua (double hull canoes)
On Sunday, the men and the women tie together two single hull canoes to make the double hulls, and the women and the mixed double hulls start, taking the Wa’a (canoes) 3 miles South to Lyman’s, turn there and return to Kailua Bay for a total of six miles.

OC1 (one person} & OC2 Races (two person)
The OC1 and OC2 canoe races are a recent addition to the more traditional racing events. The men and women paddling in this one follow the same course as the double-hull canoes.

We are again this year adding three keiki divisions: 15, 16 and 18 and under. The young people paddling this race follow the same course as the double hull canoes.
