Portrush Splash & Dash returns

Portrush Yacht Club are delighted to host the Portrush Splash Dash event for a fifth consecutive year in 2026.

Up to 75 competitors will take part in the swim/run event which is taking place on Saturday 5th September at Portrush Harbour.

All competitors will start together from the Eastern corner of West Bay and swim toward the Harbour through marked buoys before landing at the slipway and then running along the promenade and back to Portrush Yacht Club.

To maximise participation and accessibility, two distances are available for entry with the Castle Erin Course featuring a 500m swim and 3km run, while the Black Rock Course will see competitors complete a 1000m swim followed by 5km run.

General Manager Karl Simmonds said:

“This event continues to grow every year and has become a key part of the local sporting calendar.

“Registration for this September’s event remains open, but with places limited, we’d like to remind people to register before it is too late!”
