- SOLO
- TEAM
With longer ocean swims and extended beach runs right from the start, the Enduro race is the ultimate test of stamina. Is it made for swimmers or runners? There’s only one way to find out, take on the challenge solo or team up and conquer it together. It’s tough, rewarding, and made for those who love to push their limits.
This year, the 2025 Australian Swimrun Championship is contested by teams over this distance.

Keep an Eye on the Clock
This course includes timed checkpoints to help us manage water safety and keep the event flowing smoothly.
If you don’t reach Checkpoints #2, #4, or #5 before the designated cut-off times, you won’t be able to continue beyond that point. This ensures our water safety teams can reposition along the course and focus their support where it’s needed most.
To stay on track, aim to complete the course in 3 hours and 45 minutes, maintaining approximately:
2 minutes per 100m in the water
8 minutes per kilometre on the run
These are steady, achievable paces; just keep things consistent and enjoy the journey.
