The City Ford Sydney Bondi Blue Water Challenge is a multi-discipline sporting event held at Bondi Beach in New South Wales. Organized by the Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club (Bondi SBLSC), the event features a variety of ocean swimming and beach running distances along the coastline.

Participants can choose from several individual events:
