About the Event

This dynamic event combines a thrilling 400m surf swim in the waters patrolled by Cape Paterson Surf Life Saving Club with a fast 4.4km road run along the beautiful Bass Coast, offering a perfect, accessible introduction to multisport racing. As a major fundraiser for the club, every entry directly supports the vital volunteer surf life saving patrols that keep the community's beaches safe, adding a layer of purpose to your personal achievement.

Held on January 18th, this acquathon is more than just a race; it's a celebration of coastal active living and community spirit. It's the ideal way to test your fitness, enjoy the stunning Victorian coastline, and contribute to the essential work of local lifesavers, all within a friendly, supportive atmosphere that welcomes both seasoned competitors and first-timers.
