Pier to Pier Challenge Swim & 5k Run
Join us for some fun in the sun down at the shore for the 8th Annual Pier to Pier Challenge Swim! The 1-mile course is unique and spectator-friendly, with swimmers entering the water and swimming an apex triangle before exiting through a finish chute.
New for 2025: We are adding a 5k beach run along the water on hard-packed sand, and a 1-mile kids run.
Double Down Challenge
Looking for an extra challenge? Participate in both the 5k and the swim! You must sign up for both events individually. Participants will receive a swim cap, t-shirt, and professional chip timing.
This event helps benefit the Wildwood Beach Patrol.
