SATURDAY JULY 4 CANCELLED for 2026
The July festivities start with the 46th Annual Da Hui Race on the North Shore of Oahu. The race features two course options. Athletes can start from either Turtle Bay or Sunset Beach with the finish line at Waimea Bay.
SATURDAY JULY 11
The Outrigger Canoe Club hosts their annual Cline Mann Race that will test athletes in both a long and short course option that finishes at the beach at the OCC. The 18 mile long course starts at Makai Pier and the short course will test athletes on the Hawaii Kai run that is roughly 8 miles. Historically the long course has been the the perfect test of endurance along the coastline of the Kaiwi in preparation of the M2O.
SATURDAY JULY 18
Also on the schedule is the Hawaii Paddleboard Championship– legendary 10-mile Hawaii Kai Run from Maunalua Bay Beach Park to Kaimana Beach.
SUNDAY JULY 26
The finale will be the 27th Edition of the Molokai 2 Oahu World Championship Paddleboard Race.
These four races line up to create a Hawaii paddleboarding season like no other—perfect for athletes looking to tackle multiple events during one trip. Online registration for all races is coming soon.
