Immerse yourself in the scenic beauty of Lake Boga on December 13, 2026, for the annual Lake Boga Bank 2 Bank event. This community-driven race offers participants three distinct challenges: a 3.1km swim across the lake, a 5km run/walk through picturesque landscapes, and a short but thrilling 200m swim around a buoy. ### Swim Across the Waters The centerpiece of this event is the Bank 2 Bank Swim, where swimmers take to Lake Boga's clear waters for an exhilarating 3.1 kilometers. The race begins at 8:00 AM sharp after a safety briefing and paddlers are sent out onto the water early in preparation. Swimmers will enjoy stunning views of the lake while navigating through calm conditions. Solo participants can rely on their own strength, or team up with a partner to alternate between swimming and supporting from an unpowered vessel. ### Register Early for Discounts Early bird registration starts September 4th until October 16th at $60 per participant, offering significant savings compared to the standard rate of $70 during October 17th through December 11th. On-the-day registrations will be available but costlier at $80. ### Run/Walk Through Scenic Trails For those preferring land over water, the Lake Boga Bank 2 Bank also features a scenic 5km run/walk along Lakeside Drive and surrounding areas. This event begins promptly at 8:00 AM after a safety briefing for participants. The course winds through the serene beauty of Lake Boga's surroundings, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned runners and casual walkers. ### Short but Sweet - Swim Around the Buoy The third option is perfect for beginners or younger swimmers who want to experience the thrill without committing to a full-length swim. This 200m event around a buoy starts at 8:30 AM, offering an exciting splash in Lake Boga's waters. ### Race Day Schedule and Safety First Participants must check-in between 6:30-7:30 AM for both the run/walk and Bank 2 Bank swim. Paddlers will be dispatched early to ensure a safe environment for swimmers, followed by safety briefings at each event's starting line. ### Merchandise Vouchers All participants receive a $10 merchandise voucher upon check-in as part of their registration fee, adding value to the experience beyond just physical activity and competition.
