REGISTRATION is open until THURSDAY March 2nd at 9 am. All racers must register on-line, including OC-2 partners. No registrations will be allowed on race day.

PARKING, LAUNCHING, AND OBSERVING: The land owners have given their permission to hold the race under the consideration that the racers and spectators do not hamper activities of the public and customers of the business that operate at 'Anaeho'omalu Bay. There will be special parking lots setup for the race. Signs will direct participants to event parking and transportation will be provided by carts and canoe trailers to the Waikoloa Canoe Club. DO NOT drive down to the turn-around to unload your boat. DO NOT park at the shopping center, the Lava Lava Club, or at the public beach parking. Space will be designated to set-up canoes, launch, and observe the race start and finish. Please stay within these designated areas.

CANOES: This race is limited to OC-1, OC-2, and V-1 canoes. Each racer must use the same canoe with the same number in each stage of the race. Numbers must be on the right side of the canoe. If you do not register a number, a temporary number will be provided to you at check-in.

FORMAT AND SCORING: The Moku 'O Keawe consists of three races in stages held over two days, March 4th and 5th. Stage I is a 2-mile sprint, Stage II is a 6-mile course, and Stage III is either a 12-mile long course or a 6-mile short course for paddlers that cannot go 12 miles. Each racer will receive a score for each race that is equal to their overall place among finishers. The sum of the three scores will be used to determine the winners. The racer with the lowest sum of the three races will be the winner. The regular HIPA race divisions will be used for this race and the winner of each division will be the racer with the lowest combined score from that division.
