The Ecover Blue Mile is the UK’s mass-participation watersports event for our blue environment. This is your chance to join thousands of people across the UK who will be getting wet this summer, to raise funds for the Marine Conservation Society, to help safeguard our seas, shores and wildlife.

Swim, kayak or stand up paddle the Ecover Blue Mile at our flagship event in Plymouth over the weekend of 14th and 15th September 2013. Or if you fancy a bigger challenge, why not take on all three disciplines in our Aquatriathlon.

We look forward to seeing you there.
