The La Ruta Maya will be in full swing in just 3 weeks, and the Huffington Post has a great article about the race, calling it 'One of the World's Toughest and Most Historic River Races.' It all starts under the Hawkesworth Bridge on March 6th.
"La Ruta Maya is the biggest annual sporting event in Belize. Thousands of spectators line the banks of the Belize River to cheer on their favorite teams. The race has its origins in the 1995 Save Our Rivers Programme, a canoe race intended to promote cleaning up debris in and on the banks of the Old Belize River. This event has evolved to become the annual La Ruta Maya Challenge, a four-day event that follows an ancient Mayan route from San Ignacio to Belize City and is ranked 40th on Peak Races' 100 Toughest Races in the World."
