The Lennox Head Enduro junior Surf Life Saving competition was held at the Lennox Head Surf Club last Saturday and attracted over 70 entrants.
“It was great to see all the competitors put in the effort and shake off the winter cobwebs,’ Lennox Head surf sports coordinator, Laurel Moston said.
‘This is our region’s premier junior lifesaving endurance event and is a great way for juniors to sample the competitive world of an ironman or ironwoman in a safe and supportive community environment,’ Laurel said.
‘A successful day was had by all, with competitors coming from North Cliff and as far as Port Macquarie!’
The event is open to competitors aged from u/11 to u/17, and includes swim, board and run legs, with distances increasing with age.
The u/11 competitors swim 400m, board paddle for 1km and run for 1km; whereas the u/17 competitors swim 1km, board paddle for 3km, and run for 3km.
Cash prizes were up for grabs for first, second and third placed competitors in each age group, as well as an assortment of lucky draw prizes.
The day would not have been possible without a huge number of volunteers and sponsors.
