The Turangawaewae 20th Anniversary Regatta is an opportunity for Turangawaewae Waka Sports to welcome other clubs to join us in celebration of the 20th year since the establishment of our club.
We welcome kaihoe from across Aotearoa to join us to enjoy a day of whakawhanaungatanga and racing on the awa.
This event will be based at Turangawaewae Marae and races will run on the Waikato and Waipaa Rivers. Through this event, we acknowledge our hononga to our tuupuna awa, maunga and marae and highlight the areas of historical importance across our area. We also look forward to upholding our commitment as a club to promote, encourage and educate kaihoe and the wider community about the benefits of healthy lifestyles through the sport of waka ama.
