This year, the Ecover Blue Mile flagship event is returning to Plymouth and will take place in the Barbican and around Plymouth’s historic waterfront on the opening weekend to the Marine City Festival (08th and 09th September 2012).
The Ecover Blue Mile is a mass-participation water sports event designed to get the nation feeling good whilst getting active and raising vital funds to support the work of WWF, to help protect our rivers and seas.
A full two day programme of water activities that includes the Ecover Blue Mile Open Water Swim, Kayak, Stand-up paddle board and Aquatriathlon (all three disciplines combined in one event for individuals and corporate teams), plus new to the programme for 2012 is a Half Mile Open Water Swim, and the one mile Walk for Water, which follows a panoramic route around Plymouth’s stunning waterfront.
Entry into the Ecover Blue Mile and Half Mile Open Water Swim events includes swim hat, timing chip, event goodie bag, event T-shirt and one free single ticket to the National Marine Aquarium (valid only for the day of participation) per entry.
