Wednesday Ocean Swims
Swimming in the open water can be a bit nerve racking if you have never done it before.
Even if you have, it is great (and safe) to swim with a group!
These two Wed evening swims will get you confident and familiar with the course. The buoys will be out so you can practice swimming out to them and getting your bearings. Surf Lifesaving will also be present.
Cost is $5 per session per person. Please bring cash.
Meet outside The Waterfront Bar/Raumati Beach Carpark. Please arrive by 6:15pm to register and be ready to go by 6:30pm sharp! A KWT team member will be there to watch over gear and the lovely Di will take you for the swim session.
2026 dates: 4th and 11th of February.
Thursday Night Run Club
Join Evie for a weekly 3-5km group run on Thursday nights, leaving 6:30pm from outside the Waterfront Bar. These group runs are free to attend.
Alongside being the event coordinator for KWT, Evie is head run coach at Life In Motion Run Club, so if you need a hand with your running or have any running specific questions be sure to have a chat to Evie at the sessions.
Group Runs kick off on the 8th of May 2025 and run until Feb 2026 - just in time for event day!
