MARNATON BIG SWIM (+ 20km) Regulation
The MARNATON eDreams events are held in exceptional, natural coastal environments, with some sections being part of a Natural Park and/or Nature Reserve. We must remind all participants of the importance of respecting the environment around us at all times, and therefore helping to protect it.

As an open water swimmer you respect and protect the environment.

The swimmer must use the Wet Bag, identified with their bib number, which the organisation will provide for them to keep their personal belongings. The Wet Bag must be left at the designated point before the start of the race.
To retrieve their bag, which is looked after by the event organisers near to the finish, the swimmer must show their cap and their bib number.
The bags in the cloakroom will be watched over at all times. The organisation will not be held responsible for the misplacement or loss of the swimmers’ personal belongings. To prevent this from happening, please do not place any valuable items in the cloakroom bags which the swimmers have to leave on the beach.
