Surf n Turf

Welcome to Surf 'n Turf!

An aquathon series has been a feature on the multisport calendar in Canterbury for many years with Kiwi Fitness taking the reigns in 2007 and naming it the ‘Surf n Turf Series’.

The Surf n Turf Series is a group of aquathon and open water sea swim events held every at Scarborough (and now Corsair Bay) in Christchurch every summer.

This summer there will be six events in the series, with each event having three race options available. The two main events for the series are the long course swim and the Aquathon. We will also be running a short course swim option for the less confident swimmers.

An aquathon consists of a sea swim followed by a run, all events are over distances that are achievable by the general population and at the same time offering excellent competition for the more competitive athletes.

Now in its fourth season, the series encourages participants to enjoy a regular form of healthy outdoor exercise, progressing through the months of January and February making the most of the good weather and longer daylight hours.
