Winners Announced for La Ruta Maya Belize 2025

The 2025 La Ruta Maya Belize River Challenge ended today in Belize City. The race, which covered 175 miles over four days from San Ignacio, saw “Slim and Trim Like Guava Limb” finish first, securing their third consecutive win.

The team crossed the finish line with a two-minute gap. Memory Lane Global Mission took second place, and Lucas Oil Mixed finished third.

The race began on Friday but faced an early setback when paddlers prematurely launched from under the Hawksworth Bridge before the official start at 7 a.m. This led race organisers to call for a restart. The race officially began at 8 a.m. after all paddlers returned to the starting point.
