00:00So yeah we're really excited about the 27th edition of Aquathon. Last year we had a record
00:052,600 people of all ages and backgrounds, literally from Olympians to really just the
00:10everyday person and so many kids. So look you know for me this year what looks to be so amazing
00:15and so exciting is that you know we want more and more kids involved, six and up in the kids
00:20Aquathon. We've got the mini if you just want to test your waters in a swim and a run and
00:24the short
00:25through the long Aquathon so it gets a bit longer. You can tag team with a mate so maybe I
00:29swim in
00:29new run which is amazing and guess what there's a 5k fun run so if you just prefer to stay
00:34on dry
00:34land you can do that as well. You know it's January the 26th it's Wollongong Harbour, you swim in the
00:39harbour, plenty of water safety, amazing course marshals out there on the Blue Mile, finishes
00:45medal, activities, stores, giveaways. It's just a huge community buzz and that's really what I love
00:50about it the most. People just come out and high five on the finish line, the parents finishing with
00:55their kids, the mates getting together with their friends, families, the whole wider community.
01:01So yeah my thing would be 27 years it's an awesome event, it's local, it gives back to local charities,
01:06it gives back to local community. Get involved aquathon.com.au, can't wait to see you there.
