The Mokoia Challenge welcomes a new race.

This year it introduces a W1 and W2 race which will be known as Te Motu Tapu a Tinirau. Mokoia Island was originally known as Te Motu Tapu a Tinirau (the pet whale of Tinirau), as the outline resembled the shape of a whale, the pet of a famous ancestor called Tinirau.

Race day is Saturday September 11 2010.
One race starting at 9am with everyone on the start line to race around Mokoia Island - Should be exciting!
