Swim to the Moon

Pinckney, Michigan

15K • 10K • 5K • 2.4 Mile • 1.2 Mile • 1 Mile • .5 Mile

It’s an extraordinary open-water swimming adventure through the picturesque Hiland Chain of Lakes near Hell, Michigan. Choose your distance — .5 Mile, 1 Mile, 1.2 Mile, 2.4 Mile, 5K, 10K or 15K — and have the time of your life swimming through Southeast Michigan’s most sublime waterways, all the while showing support for a very worthy cause: North Star Reach, a camp for children with life-threatening, serious, and chronic medical conditions.

Celebrating 15 years with a 15K!

For the first time ever, join us for a TWO-DAY Swim to the Moon swim festival!

What swimmers are saying...

"...we had one of our best days, of any day, ever.  A day we will reminisce about from time to time. We will try to remember each little detail, each separate leg.  I call it our swimming safari. It was just great, from the tiki lanterns early this a.m., to the aid stations to the lovely finish, you thought of all of the details. You guys really organized a wonderful event (and we've been to quite a few open water events from Chicago to Chesapeake).  Thank you."
