Cowes Classic Weekend
The Cowes Classic weekend incorporating 500 metre swim and the 4km run will be held on Saturday 14th Feb 2009 at 3pm.
The Island Swim Classic (1.2km swim) will be held on the 15th February at 11am.
The Phillip Island Swim Classic is a 1.2km current-assisted swim along the picturesque bay beach along the Cowes foreshore. This is one of the few beaches in Victoria that faces north and is not affected by strong off-ocean winds. All age categories are catered for in the swim.
The Cowes Classic is a 500 metre current – assisted swim around the Cowes Pier followed by a 4km run through the streets of Cowes. The event can be completed by individuals or as a team (one swimmer and one runner) which has proven very popular with families. Many people are good runners but do not feel confident competing in a swim leg, or vice versa, so it’s a great opportunity to team up with a friend and take part.

The San
Remo Channel Challenge
The San Remo Channel Challenge is
a swim run event held on Saturday 31st January 2009 at 5pm.
The swim is a distance of 500 meters
starting across the Channel at the Fishing Village of San Remo on the
main land of South Gippsland and in the Shire of Bass Coast.
Due to the strong tide flow through
the Channel the swim can only take place on the slack water of the appropriate
high tide, the swim finish comes ashore at Newhaven Phillip Island on
north side of the Channel.
Slack water of the high tide lasts
approximately fifteen minutes in which time 500 plus competitors must
complete the swim.
The Run starts in the transition
area at Newhaven on Phillip Island after the competitors change into their
running shoes on completing the swim leg. The 2.5 kilometre run back up
over the picturesque Phillip Island Bridge to the township of San Remo
spreads the runners out, and makes a spectacular sprint to the finish
line in the main street with large crowds urging the runners on.
