There's a posting in the Upcoming Events that it is still going. The Race Officials will make a determination tomorrow on the course changes they will/may have.

Event Description:
The Bob’s Pizzeria Kailua Bay Challenge, Kanaka Ikaika’s Race #6 of the Soljah Series will be held on schedule this Sunday March 15.

However, since the weather forecast calls for moderate south west winds relative to normal north east tradewinds, and a moderate ground swell making the original proposed course potentially hazardous, the race course may be changed. The start and finish will still be at Kailua Beach Park, however, the course may not go out and around the small offshore islands in Kailua and Lanikai. The race committee will asses the surf conditions in the morning and make adjustments accordingly.

If we do have to change the course, the distance will still remain the same and rest assured that there is still much variety to be had inside the reef.

Registration is across from Buzz’s at the Kailua Halau from 7:00 - 9:00 a.m. Races start at 10:00 a.m.

Bob’s Pizzeria will have plenty of Pizza Pies for all the participants following the race. Soljah Clothing will have some prizes and our friends from Hinano may have some tasty treats too!

See you on Sunday!
