Charles Bender Memorial Swim and Relay

Dive into the thrill of the 10th Annual Charles Bender Memorial Swim and Relay, where passion and remembrance converge in a series of challenging races, all the while honoring the legacy of Charles Bender. Join us in the historic waters near Valley Forge National Park, and choose your challenge from an 8-mile swim, the intense 15K, the robust 6-mile race, and the fast-paced 5K. With proud support from French Creek Racing, this event promises a blend of competition and camaraderie, as swimmers are accompanied by a mandatory kayaker or utilize a New Wave Swim Buoy for safety. Make sure you don't miss out – registrations close on August 27th! Commit to the challenge, honor a legacy, and be part of something more than just a race.
