The MINI AQUA distance offers a fun, entry level, and safe event to begin your ‘aquathon’ experience or just a fun sharp hit out!
Aquathon is a swim followed by a run, a ‘triathlon without the bike’. The ‘Mini Aqua’ is the perfect starter distance for ages 13 and above,- you can go solo or split the distance as a relay (one swimmer and one runner). You get a finisher time and medal but its NON competitive and non-awarded.
The MINI distance offers:
- A 200m swim in the sheltered Wollongong harbour, keeping within 60m of the shoreline, followed by an 2km flat coastal run.
- Flippers are ok, but ensure you can safely swim the distance un-aided.
- Fully supported by our safety crew of lifesavers; marshals & first-aid.
- Individual or relay team options
- Finisher medals to celebrate your achievement
