Bay of Islands 2027
The worlds most epic race

Amphibian Bay of Islands – SwimRun Paradise Awaits
Welcome to the newest chapter of the Amphibian SwimRun series — now doubling as the official NZ SwimRun Championships.
This is your chance to take on an unforgettable journey through the jewel of Northland: the Bay of Islands.
Set against one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking backdrops, this event is a wild fusion of ocean swims, island trails, native bush, and coastal adventure. Swim from beach to beach. Run through headlands, farmland, and hidden coves. Feel the pulse of Aotearoa’s untamed north as you race across sea and land.
Inspired by the legacy of Breca Bay of Islands, this event takes everything athletes loved — island-hopping swims, technical terrain, and community spirit — and adds the signature Amphibian flair: better gear, more support, and serious rewards.
Whether you're tackling the Short, Mid, or the epic Long course, you’ll experience:
This is not just a race — it’s a true adventure. You and your teammate will work together, side-by-side, navigating nature at its finest. You’ll be tested physically and mentally — but you’ll finish stronger, saltier, and prouder than ever before.
