At HOPENA Foundation, our events are more than races and gatherings, they're a way to bring our community together and carry forward the values Hopena stood for. From the water to the trail, every event we host is rooted in Hawaiian culture, connection, and the spirit of the waterman and waterwoman tradition.

​

Whether you're paddling in our inaugural race or taking on the multi-sport Pōhaku x Pena Challenge, you're joining more than a competition. You're supporting youth empowerment, scholarships, and the next generation of Hawaii's leaders. Come be part of it, whether you're racing, volunteering, or cheering from the shore.
