← Long Reach Swim

Everything about this race is exemplary. 

Car parking- ample with signage and marshall supervision.

Registration- quick and simple. Collect a bag corresponding to wave colour with hat & timing chip already pre packed in. Personal feed station boxes too. 

Briefing- concise, clear and humourous

Swim safety- it felt like having a kayaker to myself at times!! We were told in the safety briefing to keep to the right. 

Feed stations- three along the route each with sweet& savoury snacks and lots of smiles. Water and flat coke too.  

Finish- stunning venue at The Swan. Great medal too.

Transportation back to start- regular buses back to Wallingford (part of the entry fee, though spectator tickets could be purchased in advance) 

All in all, a great event and one for the race calendar.
