Registrations now open for the Bass Coast Series!
Our “Early Bird Special” is available until midnight on Monday 30th September 2024. Be sure to get in quick, as this offer won’t come around again this series.
The Bass Coast Series team would also like to apologise for the delay in opening the registration platform as we had to navigate a potential clash of dates with the 2025 Super Bikes. We’re happy to announce no changes to the dates and that the registration platform is live and ready now - links to each event below.
We look forward to seeing you compete in our most exciting year yet!
EXCITING CHANGES TO THE 2025 PROGRAM
We’ve also got some exciting changes to the series which aim to make the experience better for all our participants.
- All Events now require entrants to nominate their required T-Shirt size to make ordering and supply of the shirts work better.
- The Channel Challenge will now have a CAP OF 750 SWIMMERS in the water: that means that the combined total of Individual & Relay Swimmers will be limited to 750 entrants on a First In basis.
- The Channel Challenge will include an ELITE MIXED WAVE for Competitors who nominate that they can complete the race in Under 15 minutes for Males and Under 17 minutes for Females.
