About this event
North Curl Curl SLSC’s 3 Points Challenge and 2km Ocean Swim return to North Curl Curl Beach on Saturday, 5 December 2026, bringing a full day of ocean swimming, coastal running and surf club spirit to Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
The headline 3 Points Challenge is a swim-run event linking North Curl Curl, South Curl Curl and Freshwater beaches. Competitors begin with a 300m surf swim at North Curl Curl, followed by a 2.5km coastal run towards Freshwater. A further 200m swim at Freshwater leads into a second 2.5km run back towards North Curl Curl, before a final 300m swim and soft-sand finish.
The course combines open-water swimming with running across beaches, dunes, coastal paths and rocky sections. Participants can expect changing surf conditions, varied terrain and sweeping views across the coastline, making this a demanding and memorable challenge for experienced ocean swimmers and multisport athletes.
For swimmers seeking a more traditional ocean event, the 2km Ocean Swim follows a triangular loop starting and finishing on the sand at North Curl Curl Beach. The course heads north towards Dee Why before turning south and returning to shore, offering a substantial ocean-swimming challenge in a classic beach setting.
Registrations for both events are scheduled to open at 6:45am. The 3 Points Challenge briefing is scheduled for 8:15am, with the race starting at 8:30am. Registrations for the 3 Points Challenge close at 8:30am, while 2km Ocean Swim registrations close at 10:00am ahead of the swim’s scheduled 10:15am start.
Whether tackling the multi-stage 3 Points Challenge or completing the 2km loop, participants can look forward to a spirited Northern Beaches event shaped by surf, sand and spectacular coastal scenery.
