Take part in the series and see if you can beat everyone or do one even to just to give it a go! Bring your friends or family and join one of Broome’s most popular and welcoming fitness events.

Participants can enter one event in a series or compete in all three.

There are two courses to choose from:

Long course—4km run, 400m swim

Short course—2km, 200m swim

Course Details:

The run begins on Cable Beach road east. Competitors follow the footpath onto Gubinge Rd and then return to BRAC. They then transition through to the pool area at BRAC to complete the swim in the main pool.

Compete as an individual or do it as a team.

Both courses can be completed individually. Alternatively, participants can team up and share the event as a duo.

Junior teams can choose to tackle the short course together or compete against the adults in the long course. Adult teams can choose to compete in the long course or participate in the short course non-competitively.

Parents/adults and children are also welcome to team up and share the short course.
