About the Event

On May 16, 2027, Sasamat Lake near White Pine Beach in Port Moody, B.C., transforms into an exhilarating hub for open water swimming and swimrun challenges. The day kicks off with the Sasamat Ice Cracker Open Water Swim, offering distances of 1K, 3K, and 5K through the serene waters of Sasamat Lake. Participants can enjoy a refreshing dip in this picturesque setting while taking advantage of Canaqua Sports' expertise.
For those looking to dive into swimrun for the first time or return for another lap around the lake, Mudskipper SwimRun offers three distinct distances: a 3.5K beginner option and more challenging one-lap (6.5K) and two-lap (13K) courses. These events combine swimming in Sasamat Lake with running along its scenic trails.
New to this year's lineup is the inaugural Sasamat 10K Trail Run, a three-loop course around the lake designed for trail runners who prefer to stay dry but still experience the beauty of Sasamat Lake and its surroundings. This event caters specifically to those who love a good run without the added challenge of swimming.
The atmosphere at Sasamat Lake on this day is electric with excitement as swimmers, runners, and multi-sport athletes gather for what promises to be an unforgettable start to the season in British Columbia's vibrant outdoor community.
