Australia Day is normally a celebration of mateship, family and food – a lot of food. If you are worried that you may suffer from some form of gluttonous guilt from snacking on too many snags, why not start your Australia Day right with the Burleigh Swim Run.

This community event is open to people of all fitness levels with a most track distance including a 400 m ocean swim and then 3.84 km of running. First timers or seasoned veterans are encouraged to participate, with prizes awarded to placegetters in each age group. Stick around after the event for food and beverages. Head to the Burleigh Swim Run website to register.
