Great Lake Superior Swim
Sunday August 23, 2026
7:30 am

The Great Lake Superior Swim will take place along park Point in the beautiful Lake Superior. There will be a 1-mile, 2-mile, and 3.7 mile swims, all ending at the end of Park Point at the recreational area.

There will be busses (yes, this is a spelling of the plural of bus. It could be buses but this is a hill I will die on!) from the finish area for all races at the end of Park Point to the start of each race, with tentative start times of 7:30 am for the 3.7 mile, 7:50 am for the 2 mile, and 8:10am for the 1 mile. You are encouraged to bring a spotter to walk along the beach as you swim!

Setri Barrel Saunas and pancakes will round out your experience after you finish!

More details can be found in our FAQ and last years athlete letter.
