The Eco-Challenge is a 42 miles, two day kayak race starting on the lagoon side of Ambergris Caye, through the many lagoons in the North Ambergris Caye area, up to Bacalar Chico, then down to Robles Point, where all teams camp and the race then resumes the following day and finishes (this year) at Central Park, San Pedro Town. The purpose is to promote awareness, protection and conservation of mangroves, lagoons, reefs and the diverse species found in these natural habitats.
