Welcome to the James
River Splash One Miler at Robious Landing Park.
Swim in open water on the James
River on a triangular course at Robious Landing Park in Chesterfield
County. This challenge is for competent, trained swimmers on a
marked one-mile open water course with no lanes, no starting blocks
and no chlorine. Just plenty of James River for you to stroke
out a mile with no flip turns or false starts. No one can spit
in your lane because there are none.
You don’t want to miss your
chance to be a part of this exciting event.
