K.W. Catseye Challenge

The K.W. Catseye Challenge is a 6km Fun Race - celebrating the life of Keith Williams - who not only was the Pioneer of Hamilton Island he was responsible for creating Outrigger Canoeing as a sport in Australia. 

This race is a "dress up" themed race - that requires one of the paddlers from each team to do a mini sprint at the end.  There will be random prizes - and the most important rule to be followed for this race is to HAVE FUN!   Create any type of team you like.
