Events kick off with the popular 5k Blue Mile 5 fun run, then it’s the swim-run fun of multiple aquathon events, kids (6-13’s), with mini, short and long distances for ages13’s and up.
You can even split the distance with a mate or family member and tag team. Awesome vibe, safety focused, finisher medals, prizes and give aways, and all out community fun.
