If you love ocean swims and don’t mind a dash of adventure, Stroke & Stride: Miami is your perfect intro to the world of swimrun. With two ocean swims and two short beach runs, it’s a fast, fun course that’s friendly for first-timers, especially swimmers keen to try something new.

The run legs are short, flat, and along the sand. Most participants do the whole thing in their swimmers and goggles; no complicated gear, just easy transitions and good vibes.

Why swimmers love it:

• Ocean swimming is front and centre
• Run legs are short and achievable, even if running isn’t your thing
• Simple out-and-back format
• Relaxed, community atmosphere
• No pressure, just a feel-good challenge

Part of the bigger Swimrun Australia: Gold Coast event, this short-format course is the perfect way to dip your toes into the sport alongside a buzzing community of adventurous souls.

Set with the sea on one side and soft sand underfoot, it’s all about moving through nature with purpose and enjoying every moment of it.

Shoes off, swim on. This one’s made for you.
