Beach running meets ocean swimming in this vibrant bayside festival. The Beachside Sand Classic is part of the Beachside Gift weekend, a high-energy celebration of movement, surf club culture, and coastal community spirit.

Held right on the sand, this unique event combines the grit of sprinting with the splash of open water, making for a dynamic day of competition and fun. The swim itself is short, sharp, and full of local energy, ideal for sprinters, surf lifesavers, and anyone keen to test their speed across surf and sea. With waves rolling in, sand flying, and the crowd close enough to high-five, it’s as exhilarating as it is inclusive.

Whether you’re a seasoned surf club athlete or just love a hit of beachside adrenaline, the Sand Classic is the kind of event where you race hard, rinse off in the ocean, and kick back with your mates to soak up the atmosphere. Music, food trucks, kids’ activities, and all-day entertainment keep the vibe rolling long after the finish line.

It’s fast, fun, and fiercely local, a true snapshot of Australia’s beach culture, packed into one sun-drenched weekend.
