Pier to Pine 2026 didn't happen by chance. It happened because of the people and organisations who believed in the idea before there was even a start line.
A heartfelt thank you to the Norfolk Island Regional Council, whose grant made this event possible from the very beginning. Without NIRC's support, Pier to Pine wouldn't exist. Their grant gave us the confidence to pursue this new event.
Our 2026 sponsors then helped us bring it to life. Every swimmer, volunteer, and spectator at Pier to Pine this April felt your support. 🙌
These are our 2026 sponsors:
2XU, Emma & Tom's, Frank Green, Baunti Tours, Zoggs, Sunnylife, Broad Leaf Villas, Norfolk Island Travel Co, Fenua & Moana, Galaxy Freight Express, Studio You, NI Health Collective and 2Drips Norfolk Island Water, and our local volunteer sponsors.
We are so proud of what we built together in 2026. Stay tuned over the coming weeks as we spotlight our 2027 sponsors!
