Approximately 1,500 local participants will take part this year. At the conclusion of 2016 Sustainable Sports Foundation events season, (Marathon, Triathlon & Swim Challenge), the non-profit has raised over one million dollars in funds to support the swimming program as well as other local and national charities.
