Splash ‘n’ Dash

By Alex Robertson

Have you ever wanted to participate in a marathon or triathlon but felt like you weren’t fit enough; you didn’t have the time to train or you were just worried about making a complete twat of yourself? Well, we feel ya and we want you to know this no longer has to worry you.

Splash ‘n’ Dash comes to Bondi Beach for the third year running and its bigger and better than ever. It’s a 1km run, 1 km swim and finished off with another 1km run. The event is held on Saturday, November 19 and raises much-needed funds for Waverley Action for Youth Services (WAYS). Anyone between the ages of 14 and 100 is eligible to enter – whether you’re speedy or slow, young or old, silly or serious – everyone is welcome, so you have no excuse.

The awesome team that have put together this great event on for an even greater cause have really thrown in all the extras to make it all the more fun. One of these being, free training for all entrants prior to the event. You will have the option of Run & Swim training with Spot Anderson & Bondi Lifeguard Andrew ‘Reidy’ Reid. If you’re more of a yogi, join in a massive group yoga class, alongside a couple more of the Bondi lifeguards – Dean ‘Deano’ Gladstone and Ryan ‘Whippet’ Clark. The Yoga class will be taken by Lulu Lemon ambassador and Mind Body Life yoga instructor Christian Ralston and the first 40 to arrive will receive a free Splash ‘n’ Dash yoga mat by Lulu Lemon!

To top it all off the trophies are dope as! Handcrafted acrylic blocks put together by the team at Amarisco with amazing landscape shots of Bondi, snapped by the talented Bondi lifeguard, Anthony Glick.
