The Wollongong Aquathon is a true summer staple, a must-do ritual for anyone keen to kick off their Australia Day with a splash of energy and a whole lot of fun. Set against the stunning backdrop of Wollongong’s Blue Mile, this iconic swim-run event offers something for everyone, from kids and first-timers to seasoned multisport athletes.

With a range of events on offer, from bite-sized dashes for the little ones to longer, more challenging distances, you can race hard, take it steady, or just get amongst the action. Whether you’re chasing a PB, ticking off a personal goal, or teaming up with a mate in the team category, the Aquathon brings the buzz of competition with the warmth of community.

It’s high-energy and family-friendly, with crowds lining the course, live entertainment, food trucks, beachside coffee, and that unbeatable coastal vibe. Not racing? No worries, cheering from the sidelines is just as much fun.

The Wollongong Aquathon is more than just a fitness challenge; it’s a celebration of summer, surf, and shared effort. It’s the kind of event that leaves you salty, smiling, and proud to be part of something special.
