The Mudskipper Fresh and Salty B.C. Championships is a 20 km swimrun race. The course alternates between freshwater swimming (Sasamat Lake) and saltwater swimming, with running segments in between. It passes through Belcarra Regional Park. A provincial championship title (B.C. Champion) is awarded to the top male and top female finishers.
A shorter 10 km version is also offered as the Sasamat Mudskipper Swimrun Challenge 10K, described as a good way to try the discipline.
The Sasamat Open Water Swim II offers open water swimming distances of 1 km, 3 km, and 5 km in Sasamat Lake.
