Chatham Maritime Aquathlon

Junior and Adult races with various ditances. Join us and Chatham Maritime Watersports Center for a swim in the historic Basin 2, that used to be home to Royal Navy vessels, followed by a run around St Marys Island, first used by the Romans to cross the River Medway. Swims for juniors start at 50m for TriStart up to 750m for Youth. Adults aren't ignored either. For those dipping their toes into open water swimming, there is are 200m and 400m courses or, for those hardier souls, 750m. All the run routes are an exciting mix of Riverside, Dockside or short climbs up though parkland. Our youngest athletes can run 600m, adult distances start at 2.4K with the longest distance being a 10K out to the Bell Mast (that used to call workers to the Dockyard) and back. Athletes can admire Upnor Castle on the opposite bank of the river.
