Smoother entry ensured for aQuellé Midmar Mile

Participants and support crew will not have to show proof of vaccination nor provide a negative Covid19 test result at the entrance to Midar Dam for the aQuellé Midmar Mile, which runs from February 10 to 13.

The news was confirmed by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, which controls and manages the dam.

“We are looking forward to another great event and are thrilled with this decision which will make things easier and quicker for swimmers and their supporters arriving at the dam,” said race director Wayne Riddin.

“Of course, we still encourage people to get vaccinated when they can to stay as safe as possible as we continue to fight this pandemic together and look forward to eventually returning to normal life.”

This year’s events have been spread over four days with the 8 and 16 Mile charity swims taking place on Thursday and Friday before the disabled, age group and elite events, which will be staged on Saturday and Sunday.

Online pre-entries close on February 9, but late entries will be accepted at the dam itself, at a higher fee. For more information and entry details, head to www.midmarmile.co.za
