Walpole Aquathlon

Walpole Aquathlon is a community event in its 3rd year and this year we are raising money for British Red Cross

Local swim and run enthusiasts do either a 700m or 1500m swim in Walpole Bay Tidal pool, then straight into either a 5km or 10km run along the coast to Botany Bay. We have entrants of all levels taking part, from the once a year have a go crew to the hardcore athletes out to smash the full distance. We also have teams of swimmers and runners partnering up so that everyone can get involved. With the wonderful Margate community out to cheer on our athletes while they sweat it out to earn your donations, its a brilliant day for an amazing cause!

FUNDRAISING

This year, in light of current events happening in the world, we are raising money for the British Red Cross to fund humanitarian aid around the world.

The British Red Cross helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are. We are part of a global voluntary network, responding to conflicts, natural disasters and individual emergencies. Your donation will go to help those in crisis both in the UK and overseas.

We also support Margate Pride but funds are raised via entry fees and there will be donation buckets on the day.
