2024 Endurance Swim and Multi-Sport Challenge
Organized by Gulf Coast Multi-SportAbout this event
Gulf Coast Multi-Sport is hosting the annual “Endurance Swim and Multi-Sport Challenge” and is inviting all athletes of all ages and abilities to participate. This event is a virtual event, therefore can take place in a local pool or open water and your community. This year, we are expanding our categories to include a 1,000 mile, 2,500 mile and a 5,000 mile Multi-Sport category. In the Multi-Sport category, you can swim, bike/spin, run or walk to reach your year goal. Come challenge yourself and join athletes from around the world in this challenge!
The “Endurance Swim Challenge” is a great opportunity put endurance to the test and have fun with local athletes and friends as well. How will distance be tracked? The preferred method is by joining the Garmin Group, that is available through the Garmin Connect App. A link will be E-mailed to you once you register for the event. However, other tracking methods such as but not limited to: Polar, Apple, Strava, or paper, can be used as well and will be submitted via email. An “Endurance Swim Challenge” finisher’s shirt and bragging rights will be awarded to all that complete the challenge once you finish. Finisher shirts for those registered after June 1, 2024 will not have the category listed on the back of the shirt.
This years fundraising efforts are going to support Kira Stevens, a multi-sport para athlete with cerebral palsy. She hopes to travel to the Move United Junior Nationals, US Para Track and Field Nationals and USA Paralympic Trials in 2024. If she does well, maybe she will be competing in the 2024 Paralympics in France! She has participated in this challenge the last four years and completed 100 miles the first year and over 100 miles as part of a team in 2021.
