Zoggs Ocean Walker Marathon Swim

Details

A teams selection will be included this year. Teams may be 2-6 people. Teams must supply their own kayak support, and those of 4 or more members must supply a power boat that is suitable to carry the swimmers that are not in the water.  See below for kayak hire information.

There is a back-up course for this event in the case of bad weather on the day.  Further information will be available soon.

When and where

Date: Sunday 24th April 2016
Assemble: 06:45am, St Heliers Bay
Start time: 07:45am
Tide: 8:50 am
Nominal cutoff time: 4.5 hrs
Finish and Prize giving: St Heliers Bay

The course

From St Heliers Bay to the white stick off Ladies Bay, to Tamaki Yacht Club, out and round Bean Rock Lighthouse, to Red Stick off Mission Bay back to St Heliers via the southern buoy.

The Logistics

Because of the big variation in swim speeds and the long duration of this event swimmers will be responsible for providing their own Kayaker for safety and support during the race.

Kayakers must have a means of communication in the form of a waterproof cellphone or marine VHF.

Swimmers may elect to swim as a group with one kayak but must maintain that group for the full distance.

Kayakers must stay with their swimmer for the duration of the race.  Swimmers finishing without their kayaker will not feature in the published results.

Entry criteria
  • For the Marathon Swim you must have undertaken appropriate training and swimming in open water for distances exceeding 5km.
  • ACM has the right to decline any applicant if there are significant doubts about the entrant’s ability to complete the course
