Aquathlon challenge is coming to Southport – and it’s open for everyone

Sefton Council’s Active Workforce team are excited to bring a brand new sporting challenge to Southport – and it’s open for everyone.

On Sunday, September 10, there will be a new Aquathlon event consisting of a 250m swim at Dunes Splashworld, followed by a 2.5km run around Victoria Park.

The race will start in waves from 9am onwards and costs just £15 per entry. Active Workforce members pay a reduced rate of £10. Participants can also complete the event as a relay team of two, with one person completing the swim and the other completing the run.

All competitors will receive a free t-shirt and medal, and there will be a trophy for the first female, first male and first relay team. Water will be available throughout the race.

Free parking is available for all Aquathlon competitors and spectators in the Paddock in Victoria Park, entrance from the Esplanade PR8 1RX, and changing rooms, showers and lockers will be available in Dunes Splashworld.
