The Bridge House Mile, proudly sponsored by Standard Bank, now in its 5th year has announced that the event will be hosted on Sunday 4th February 2018 at Val de Vie Estate, Paarl.
Val de Vie Estate is ideally positioned to host the event, in a scenic setting in the beautiful Paarl-Franschhoek Valley. The event has gone from strength to strength since its inception and sees the introduction of an 800m swim at the 2018 event. The 800m event is perfectly suited for swimmers not yet ready for the Mile, but find the 400m swim too short.

400m Swim = R95 / starts at 08:45
800m Swim = R105 / starts at 09:45
Mile (1.6km) Open Swim = R165 / starts at 11:00
Mile (1.6km) Elite Swim = R175 / starts at 12:15
Swim for Nature – Open Mile – WWF = R400 / includes a WWF hamper valued at R700
