This year’s event takes place on Sunday 13 September 2026, at the Walpole Tidal Pool in Cliftonville, Margate.

Support our event and competitors by donating to our fundraiser for Rise Up Clean Up and People Dem Collective.

The Walpole Aquathlon is an annual swim and run event, started by Cliftonville resident Louise Haswell in 2020 to raise funds for local charities that support our amazing coastal community here in Margate. Sarah Hakewill, came on board in 2022 to volunteer alongside Louise.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-timer, we can’t wait to see you at the starting line!
