About the race:

The Belikin La Ruta Maya Belize River Challenge is a grueling multi-day canoe race traveling a perilous river route across the country of Belize. The route runs West to East along the Macal and Belize Rivers, once the only link between beautiful San Ignacio, in the foothills of the Maya Mountains, and the bustling port of Belize City. This is a race for everyone (not just professional racers)!
The canoes leave from San Ignacio and take a four day journey to Belize City. They stop at Banana Bank, Double Head Cabbage, Burrell Boom then end the race in Belize City.

There are 8 divisions for the race:

    1. Male
    2. Female
    3. Mixed
    4. Masters
    5. C2
    6. Intramural
    7. Pleasure craft
    8. Family Adventure Race

The race was founded by the Harrison Brothers: Richard and Orlando Harrison and managed the race along with the assistance of his cousins Roberto and Aline Harrison.

In 2013, The Belize Brewing Company entered the race as corporate partners and assisted the Harrisons with the ground logistics.

Two years later, in 2015, Love Entertainment Limited was given the opportunity to take over the reins of managing the race and with the help of Roberto and Aline, have been able to keep the race growing.
Belize Brewing Company became the Race Sponsor.

The Belikin La Ruta Maya Belize River Challenge has become an annual event and brings together many partners with promotional themes identified with sports, endurance, while at the same time raising consciousness about one of Belize’s natural resources: The Belize Old River while bringing commerce to the Belize River Valley as it travels down the river and builds a celebratory event at its stops.
