Red Knot Swim & Sprint

The trail run will take place in Burka Coffee Estate, directly across the road from St. Constantine’s International School. The course is a loop on dirt single and double track trails within the coffee plantation. Walkers are welcome.

Race entry includes a Red Knot Swim & Sprint T-shirt and drinking water. All finishers will receive a bespoke finisher “medal” made by Shanga Crafts. Public participation is limited to 200 entries.

Packet pickup 7:30 am at St. Constantine’s front carpark.

Race start 9:00 am across the street inside Burka Coffee Estate.

Events on offer are 200 meter up to 3 kilometer “open water.”

200s & 400s will be swum in categories 10 & U, 11-12, 13-14, and 15 & O. 400 IM, 800, 1500 & 3K "Open Water" will be swum in heats but results in age categories: U18 and 18+.

Each swimmer will be allowed to swim a maximum of 5 events + 3K “open water.”

FINA stroke rules apply to all strokes, and a one start rule shall apply.

As Tanzania’s only swim gala dedicated to middle and long distance events, Swim & Sprint is a great opportunity to achieve PBs in long distances as swimmers will not be overly tired by many shorter events.

Entry includes a Red Knot Swim & Sprint T-shirt. All race podium places will be awarded bespoke “medals” created by Shanga Crafts.

The ArushaMan competition consists of a 5-kilometer run followed by an 800 meter swim. As the swim will be in heats, runners will NOT go directly from 5K finish into the pool. Rather, heat times will be announced in advance.

The ArushaMan trophy will be awarded to the lowest combined time for the two (2) events. ArushaMan trophies will be awarded in gender and age group categories.

The David Tozer Memorial 5K takes place on Sunday morning at 9:00 am.

The first heat of the 800 meter swim will begin at 10:00 am. ArushaMan participants will be assigned swim start times in early January.
