Hi there,
I am looking to up my longest race this summer, and would love to do a 15-mile, or something close to it. Anyone know of anything good? I know I could do the Kingdom Swim again, but I'd like to try something different.
Unfortunately, there are limited travel funds so drivable from Massachusetts is ideal.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
The list of 15 mile+ organized swims in the U.S. is not a long one.
- Manhattan Island (28.5)
- Tampa Bay (24)
- Ederle (17.5)
- Swim Across the Sound (15.5)
- USMS 25K in Noblesville (every 3 years)
In the 10-15 mile range are a few more.
- Distance Swim Challenge in LA (12.6)
- the two Swims Around Key West (12)
- RiverFest Endurance Swim in Oregon (11.7)
- Kingdom Swim (VT), Swim the Suck (TN), Deer Creek (UT), and the La Jolla Cove relay -- all 10 miles
See my full list (10K or more) at http://bit.ly/longswims
Let me know if I missed anything.
If proximity to MA is a priority, what about the Boston Light Swim? "Only" 8 miles but still a hell of a challenge. It's already sold out this year but maybe there's a waiting list.
