Welcome to the
2008 Australia Day Illawarra Aquathon!

A splash, a dash and loads of fun ...

This year marks the 10th running of the Illawarra's favourite summer community fitness event, and again promises to be a fantastic, fun and active start to our Australia Day celebrations.

Held over a safe, picturesque and fun course, the Australia Day Illawarra Aquathon draws over 850 participants and thousands of spectators to Wollongong harbour (1 hour South of Sydney) each year. Noted for its magic location, safe and scenic courses, fun filled atmosphere, professional direction, and many services; it offers a valued event for individuals, families and corporate teams.

One of the largest and most respected events of its type, the Australia Day Aquathon is an ideal event for the first timer to serious athletes and all levels in between. All ages and abilities are catered for with participants having a choice of three courses covering MINI (Kids U12), SHORT Course and the ever popular LONG Course to choose from.

With options to compete individually or as a two person tag team, the Australia Day Illawarra Aquathon is a brilliant event to celebrate Australia Day with, get fit and have fun too.
