Record Breaking Turnout at this Year's MMJ Aquathon

We are thrilled to share the spectacular success of the recent MMJ Aquathon held in the scenic Wollongong Harbour on Australia Day 2024. The event, famed as Australia's favorite swim-run, was not just a day of athletic prowess but a testament to community spirit and unity which shone brightly in our ‘red army.’

It's no surprise that the Aquathon has become a hallmark event in the Illawarra, attracting participants and spectators alike in record numbers this year. MMJ has proudly been associated with the event as title sponsor for 7 years. 

The extraordinary success of the event can be largely attributed to our 'Red Army' of volunteers from MMJ Real Estate. Their unwavering enthusiasm, teamwork, and energy were pivotal in ensuring the event ran seamlessly. From ensuring safety measures to assisting participants, handing out finisher medals and water, their contribution was nothing short of remarkable.

The MMJ Aquathon features various swim-run distances, ensuring there was something for every participant, regardless of their age or fitness level. The events included the Long Aqua, Short Aqua, Mini Aqua, Kids Aqua, and the inclusive 5k Fun Run, each designed to provide a fun and achievable challenge. Congratulations to all the MMJ participants who took on the challenge. Your determination and spirit embody the very essence of the MMJ Aquathon.  

As we reflect on the success of the MMJ Aquathon 2024, we are reminded of the strength and vibrancy of our community. Here's to many more years of this fantastic event. We invite everyone to join us next year. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a first-timer.  Aquathon is a perfect opportunity to challenge yourself, enjoy the scenic beauty of Wollongong, and be a part of an incredible community event.
