RunSwim Coogee Aquathlon is a brand new event hosted by Coogee Surf Life Saving Club together with our partners Randwick City Council and our sponsors.
Combining multiple runs and swims along parts of the famous Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk, it is sure to challenge even the fittest of competitors with the numerous transitions including Clovelly Bay, Gordons Bay and Coogee Bay.
RunSwim Coogee Aquathlon is an important community, fundraising and charity based event and with limited registrations, is expected to sell out fast. All proceeds go towards maintaining vital lifesaving equipment and services on the beach.
Included in your registration packs is a premium silicone swim cap kindly sponsored by Speedo and a rash vest/singlet, both branded with RunSwim Coogee branding.
In addition to this, each entrant will receive a Speedo 25% discount code in your e-mail registration confirmation (Ts&Cs apply).
Pre-Race Preparation
Whilst the event is being held in autumn, we recommend you bring warm clothes with you for when waiting at the start and at the end of your swim.
Remember to hydrate well the day before the race, eat a good meal the night before and a good breakfast beforehand. Remember Coogee’s parking is limited and requires pay by the hour meters, so if you can come by public transport, please refer to the NSW Public Transport line.
Event Day Registration & Sign In
Depending on the Public Health Order at the time of the event, it will likely be mandatory to sign in using our Services NSW QR code located at the registration tables on the day of the event before you receive your registration pack.
