RNLI Jersey is encouraging Islanders to enter or support a “fun, free, open” Ironman-style fundraising event taking place at St Ouen’s Bay later this month.
The Apex Lifeguard Challenge, which will include both team and individual races, is being held as the RNLI celebrates the 15th anniversary of its lifeguard service in the island.
The challenge will see participants take on a 400m sea swim, a 1.5km run and an 800m rescue board paddle at the Watersplash on Saturday 25 July.
Teams from the Fire and Rescue Service, Coastguard and Ambulance Service are among those due to take part in the event, which is open to all and free to enter.
Lifeguard supervisor Aaron White said: “Whether you’re a seasoned athlete, passionate surfer or a first-time challenger, come be part of this fun, free, open event, and help us raise vital funds for our RNLI lifeguards.
“Everyone is welcome to take part or support – come give it a go and make a difference.”
