SWIM & AQUATHLON INFO
Registration opens at 17:30 with the event starting at
18:45. The swim will take place in the safe and crystal clear waters of Vobster Quay and the run will be an out and back run on quiet country lanes. Clubs and teams are very welcome to get involved so why not invite your friends? You
DO NOT have to be a Vobster Quay member to book onto this event - it is open to all.
For those in need of sustenance, food and drink will be available to purchase before and immediately after you've completed your event discipline. Please note that this is not included in your ticket price so please bring money with you.
EVENT CATEGORIES
Two event catagories are available, giving you the freedom to select the entry option that best suits you. For those that just want to participate in the timed swim, you can choose between three distinct distances -
750, 1500 or 3000 metres.
Alternatively, you can choose to partipate in the full Aquathlon event with both a timed swim and run. Two distances are available for Aquathlon participants - a
350 metre swim with a 1 kilometre run or a
750 metre swim with a 5 kilometre run. Thanks to our new electronic performance timing system from Prosper Events, results from this Aquathlon will appear on the
Split Second Timing site within hours.
