Carri to Club
Save the date for January 7 2024.
Held on the first Sunday in January each year, the Carri’ to Club is a swim, run or walk event organised by the Normanville Surf Life Saving Club.
Staged along the stunning shoreline between Carrickalinga and the Normanville jetty, the event offers participants a 4km, 2km, 1km and 400 metre swim distances, and a 4km run or walk option.
Whether you are looking to satisfy your competitive urge, challenge a friend, or just enjoy a swim, walk or run on one of South Australia’s most beautiful beaches, the Carri’ to Club is a fun community event for all ages.
The event is entirely volunteer run with proceeds from ticket sales and donations supporting the Normanville Surf Life Saving Club’s beach patrol and training programs.
Thanks to our supporters
The Normanville Surf Lifesaving Club would like to thank all volunteers, the Yankalilla Council, Damian Hamilton at Cornershop Design, and the team at James Print for their support.
