SATURDAY 16 MARCH 2019
EBENEZER MILE 2019
Swimmers and their families started arriving early morning on Saturday 16th March, 2019 to register for the swim and to find their picnic places to settle in for what is fast becoming a popular swimming calendar event.
Despite a relatively chilly start to the day, the 2019 Ebenezer Mile got underway. Conditions were optimal and the water calm throughout the day for the race held on Saturday 16th March, 2019. Thanks to the efforts of the race organisers, the Rotary Club of Haenertsburg, and the support of various sponsors, the Ebenezer Mile race went off without a hitch, where the safety of the swimmers was prioritised at all times.
Race day saw an increase of participants by 16% with 436 swimmers taking part.
The Haenertsburg Rotary Club would like to extend their thanks to every swimmer who participated and every sponsor who contributed to the success of the event. We look forward to the 2020 event.

It was a great event, thank you so much to all who participated (376) and the many family and friends who gave great support. Congratulations to the swimmers who braved the water and appreciation to everyone for their patience with the event delays due to the misty weather. It did nothing to dampen the great spirit of the day though!! Rotary Haenertsburg thanks you all!
