Stroke 'N Stride Winter Series at Pizzey Park
Four winter Sunday mornings of short course aquathon around Miami Aquatic Centre and the trails and pathways of Pizzey Park. Each event mixes a footpath run circuit through parkland with alternating lanes in a 50m pool. The format is run first, then swim, with transitions between disciplines so participants do not swim in their running shoes.
The series includes two initial warm up events with non‑scoring formats, followed by two official leaderboard rounds in August. One scheduled July event was cancelled due to a Pizzey Park scheduling conflict, so the series now features four events and the final two rounds count toward series standings.
Course and gear details are listed for participants. The run is on park trails and the swim takes place in a 50m pool with reported water temperature of 27.5°C. Swim caps are supplied. Junior entries include complimentary family access to the pool and the onsite café offers breakfast and coffee.
Distances by category:
- Kids 7 to 9: total 1,100 m (run 1,000 m, swim 100 m)
