2024 Barnegat Light Ocean Mile Swim:
The Barnegat Light Ocean Mile Swim is back this July after a hiatus, now operated by the nonprofit Friends of Barnegat Light Beach Patrol. Registration opened recently, and the event is set for Saturday, July 27th, starting at 6:30 p.m., with online registration closing on July 25th. The race begins at 30th Street in Barnegat Light, with a registration fee of $50 for general participants, $25 for LBI lifeguards, and free for BLBP guards.
Male and female competitors start in separate heats, with the second group having a time advantage. Check-in is required at 16th Street Beach from 12 to 6 p.m. on race day, and wetsuits are generally not allowed unless the water temperature necessitates them.
Awards include plaques for top male and female finishers and medals for age group winners. Teams compete as well, capped at 325 swimmers, with the course ending at 16th Street. Join us for an exciting ocean swim experience and post-race celebration on the beach!
