Please bring your chip number with you to the packet pick-up/registration table and introduce yourself by chip number, not by name. It makes the process very easy.
CHECK IN LOCATION
North End Pavilion Ocean Ave between Tuttle and Ludlow Ave
Check in between 7:00-7:45am. Allow enough time for a 15-20 minute walk to the start
Before you arrive, please write down (or mark your chip # on your arm/hand) and show your chip number to the volunteer at check in so you can pick up your chip (Participants will be asked to pick their own chip from the boxes and show to volunteer for verification of name, age, wave…). Chips need to be worn on either ankle, not your arm. Wetsuit wearers please make sure your chip is below or over your wetsuit, NOT UNDER.
If you happen to lose your chip, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you tell us as you cross the finish line. We are not body marking to maintain social distancing guidelines.
T-SHIRT AND CAP PICK UP
Once you get your race chip, head over to the t-shirt tables to pick up your t-shirt and cap. Shirts are guaranteed to the first 200 registered.
BAGS
You may leave your bag in the check in area if necessary. They will be supervised by race volunteers.
WETSUITS
Permitted. Not eligible for awards. Please let us know if you plan on wearing a wetsuite by using this form.
RESTROOMS
Public restrooms, showers, on the boardwalk near the registration tent.
START LOCATION
Walk approximately one mile south along the promenade to the start of the race.
START
All Swimmers 8:00AM
It will be a BULLHORN START (Gu start) not a chip start. Your official time will start when the bullhorn sounds. Caps and chips are required.
The course runs northward, parallel to the shore. From the starting line, you will swim out to a large yellow inflatable buoy and make a left shoulder turn around the buoy and head north. Swimming north and parallel to the shore, you will pass 5 jetties (large structures made of rock). There will be a smaller flag buoy in the middle of each section of beach, between two jetties, to help you sight the course. After you pass the fifth jetty, you will swim to another large yellow inflatable buoy and make a hard left shoulder turn around the buoy and head west, swimming in to the finish.
FINISH
Running finish from surf onto beach and into timing chute. Please remove your timing chip and place in the bucket at the finish line. Straps MUST BE FOLDED.
Beach showers, water and gatoraide provided at the finish.
AWARDS
Presented at approximately 9:15am. This will be short and sweet to avoid congregating. Awards will be given to the top 15 male and top 15 female overall finishers. All participants who complete the mile swim will receive a certificate with your name, time and place. Click on your name in the results to open and print your certificate.
We need to know if you are wearing a wetsuit prior to the start of the race. Please let them know as you pick up your chip if you will be wearing a wetsuit
