OZ Mile Swim

This event is for ALL swimmers! Elite, experienced, novice, beginner - ALL! We have ELITE, YOUTH, AGE GROUP, PARA, and the OZ wave (wetsuits or safety buoys or even fins). Swimmers will have the option to complete 1 or multiple waves (based on qualifications). This event will be a FESTIVAL ATMOSPHERE unlike any other OW race in the region - maybe the USA! There is a Charity Swim, presented by Highlands Oncology Group, the HOG Swim for 9/27! We are fundraising for 3 charities: Swim Across America, Rampy MS Research Foundation, and The Joys Of Swimming. You can pick 1, 2, or all 3 as they are ALL amazing! You can swim (not race) 1- 4 miles, you can even do a relay to get your miles in. There is a discount provided at checkout when you register for both the 9/27 and 9/28 events. We will kick off race weekend on Friday afternoon, 9/27 with a Race Expo at Red Barn in Bentonville. A meet and greet with all our swimmers, and elites. As well as local and national vendors. The Expo is free to attend, with beverages provided by Pabst Blue Ribbon. This swim is set in the heart of the Ozarks, which offer fun adventures for the entire family! The festival atmosphere is spectacular! Make sure to register for the Charity Swim on 9/28 to stretch out from your travels so you are ready to go for race day. We will have awards for the top 3 finishes in age groups for male and female, and Youth Team and Masters Team awards. Price increase on 9/15.
