MURRAY MILE OCEAN CLASSIC

New to open water ocean swimming? THE MURRAY HALF mile option has just been added to the line up! 1/2 of the Murray Mile, easy peasy!  REGISTRATION CLOSES JULY 18th AT 5:30PM. Have you ever watched the county lifeguards at their ocean swim competitions over the years and dreamed of having the chance to swim the same race course? Now is your chance!! The first ever lifeguard ocean course will now be open to the public to race in Avalon, and for that matter, all of South Jersey! Just like the lifeguards, you will swim the flags straight out into the ocean and back. Yup, you heard that right. The start and finish will be the same place, approximately  35th Street and the beach. Saturday night at 6:30pm. I bet you can just feel the excitement already for a running beach start.

Proceeds will be going to the
