Due to the interest from injured triathletes, we have decided to see if there is further people interested in doing just an open water swim, rather than a full triathlon
When?
These events are to be run in conjunction with the Jan 25th, Feb 14th & Mar 28th Contact Scorching Triathlons at Scorching Bay.
What is available?
Distances available will be
500m (2 laps of the small triangle) - minimum age 13 - will start with the medium triathlon course options)
1k (2 laps of the large triangle) - minimum age 16 - will start with the long triathlon course options)
2k (4 laps of the large triangle) - minimum age 16 - will start with the long triathlon course options)
For these 2010 summer events we are aiming to keep the entry fee simple and since the triathlon events cover most of th4e water safety costs.
The entry fees will be $25 per person, unless you are a student, then $20. There will be no late fees, but you must enter online or at registration the day before the event. There will be no entries taken on the event morning
What are the long term Scorching Open Water Plans?
If these options are considered successful this summer (2010), The Scorching crew will look at spinning the Scorching Open Water off as a separate event series for next summer 2010/11 at a number of different locations that we have already scoped and planned for in the Wellington Region. Consider this the test case, if the numbers are here, something more will come next summer!
