Early Entries Open for 2025 aQuellé Midmar Mile

Entries for the 52nd aQuellé Midmar Mile are officially open with organisers forecasting another bumper event from 6-9 February 2025.

Those swimmers wishing to take advantage of the early bird entry fee can do so via the newly launched www.midmarmile.com website.

The reduced entry fee will be available until 1 November 2024.

Organisers of the world’s largest open water event also announced the five seeding swims that will take place in the weeks and months leading up to the aQuellé Midmar Mile in both KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng*, starting in November for those wishing to book a spot in the seeded batches on race weekend.

Race Director Wayne Riddin said another spectacular event is being planned for the thousands of swimmers expected to converge on the picturesque KwaZulu-Natal dam in February.

“We’re thrilled to announce that entries for the 2025 aQuellé Midmar Mile are officially open,” he said.

“This year’s event promises to be one of the best yet. We can’t wait to welcome swimmers of all levels – from first-timers to the elite of world swimming – to join us for what will be a memorable weekend on the water.

“That’s exactly what makes the aQuellé Midmar Mile such an awesome event is that it caters for absolutely everyone – from those who are simply looking to complete the challenge of successfully finishing a mile swim to those who are out to win the race and create history,” added Riddin.

“We have some exciting announcements to come in terms of which elite swimmers will be joining us for next year’s race so watch this space. In the meantime, we are encouraging the public to get their entries in as early as possible to take advantage of the reduced entry fee and secure their spot so they can set their goals and start their training.”
