Chicken Long Race
October 19 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
October may bring the chill of fall to Tacoma, but that doesn’t stop Pacific Northwest paddlers from entering the Chicken Long Race Solo/Relay. They know that even if they don’t win their division, which comes with a rubber chicken for a prize, they’ll have a warm bowl of Auntie Bren’s famous chicken long rice soup.
This year, Kīkaha O Ke Kai’s annual event will be held on Oct. 19. Paddlers typically race in pairs, but some choose to complete the entire 10-mile race solo. In 2023, there were nearly 130 paddlers. The entry fee is $25 per paddler. Register here.
Grab your team of paddlers to race 4 laps (2 laps for short course), 2.6 miles per lap. Categories include OC-1, OC-2, SUP, Kayak, Surfski, and V-1.
