The Moloka i Channel race, begun in 1952 for men and 1979 for women, is the oldest and most prestigious outrigger canoe race in the world. It`s run between the islands of Molokai and Oahu, Hawaii. The race is one of Hawaii's largest annual sporting events, drawing participants from Hawaii and the U.S. mainland as well as internationally. Participating countries include Australia, New Zealand, England, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong, and Tahiti. Canoes launch from the Hale o Lono Harbor off the west side of Molokai and travel approximately 41 miles across the Kaiwi Channel to Fort DeRussy beach, Waikiki.[1] The channel is said to be among one of the most treacherous spans of ocean in the world, with the current record time for the passage being under 5 hours.
