Maratón Acuático Belén de Escobar

The waters surrounding the Club de Remo y Náutica Belén de Escobar carry the distinct, sediment-rich character of the Paraná Delta ecosystem. Swimmers entering these currents describe an environment defined by the constant, gentle movement of the river, which demands a rhythmic, steady stroke to maintain efficiency against the flow. The water here is deep and carries the brownish tint typical of a delta, offering a perspective that shifts from the quiet, tree-lined banks at the start to the more expansive, open stretches of the main channel. Navigating this environment requires constant engagement with the natural rhythm of the delta, as the river’s volume dictates the pace of the swim from the moment you leave the slipway.

Race Day Logistics

The Maratón Acuático Belén de Escobar is designed for those who appreciate a well-regulated challenge. With a strict limit of 350 participants for the 7km distance and 150 for the 4km, the event maintains a focused, professional atmosphere. The logistics are comprehensive: your entry fee, ranging from 100,000 to 140,000 ARS depending on the registration window, includes mandatory transport to the starting point, medical assistance, and the required safety buoy. Because the event takes place in a functional waterway, the schedule is managed with precision. Participants must clear the technical briefing by 10:30 AM, after which boats transport everyone to the respective starting zones for a 1:00 PM launch for the 7km and a 3:00 PM start for the 4km. The use of a safety torpedo or buoy is strictly enforced for all swimmers, a standard requirement that ensures visibility and support throughout the course. Upon completion, each finisher receives an official event t-shirt and medal, marking the end of a long day spent navigating the delta's shifting currents.
