Final Preparations Underway for Belikin La Ruta Maya River Challenge

Описание: Final preparations are underway for the highly anticipated Belikin La Ruta Maya River Challenge, which officially kicks off this Friday in San Ignacio Town under the Hawkesworth Bridge.  The annual canoe race, widely regarded as Belize’s premier sporting event, will once again see dozens of teams paddling down the Belize River over the four-day competition that concludes in Belize City. Organizers say the race involves significant planning and coordination, with hundreds of individuals working behind the scenes to ensure the event runs safely and smoothly.  One of the key partners supporting the race each year is the Belize Defence Force, which plays an important role in the logistical and operational aspects of the event.  We spoke with Major McKoy of the Belize Defence Force, a Company Commander who is serving as the point of contact for this year’s Ruta Maya race. He explained that the BDF deploys approximately fifty soldiers to assist with various responsibilities along the river, including timekeeping and other operational roles to support the smooth execution of the race.

The Belikin La Ruta Maya River Challenge continues to draw widespread participation from paddlers, sponsors, and communities across the country, while also serving as a major cultural and sporting highlight on Belize’s national calendar. Organizers say safety, coordination, and teamwork remain central to ensuring another successful race this weekend.
