Olamau Foundation

The Olamau race - the Foundation conducts the Olamau race, an ultimate unlimited outrigger canoe challenge in Hawaii (the "race"). The race is a 90 mile open ocean race that takes place over three consecutive days. Compared to other marathon canoe races, the race is among the longer races designed to attract the top competitors in canoe racing. In its inaugural year, race competitors included teams from Hawaii, southern California, the pacific northwest, two international teams from tahiti. For 2018, there was not a race but the organization is providing training to canoe racers.
