An unforgettable race! The organization was flawless, and the atmosphere at Alykes Beach was electric. I’ll definitely be back next year!
Challenging but absolutely worth it! The 5KM race pushed me to my limits, and the support from the crowd was amazing.
A top-tier swimming event in a stunning location! The clear waters and well-marked course made for a fantastic experience.
