The swimming part of this event has been cancelled due to lack of entries.

This year, the Lake Del Valle event will start on Saturday with a 5K/10K. The swims will run at the same time. You have to pre-register for the 10K and be able to meet the 3 ½ hour cut off time to swim the event. On Sunday, the 1.2K and the 2.5K will be held.  If you're new to open water swimming, try the 1.2K swim. It's run first.  For a good workout, do both. Plenty of parking. A good place to bring the kids: they have a roped-off swimming area. Information and Registration.
