5ª Travessa de l'any Roda de Berà

La course

Kick off your new year with a splash of Mediterranean spirit at the 'Travessa de l'any Roda de Berà'. Held annually on January 1st, this symbolic event is more than just a swim; it is a beloved local tradition that brings together a vibrant community of swimmers to celebrate the start of the calendar year in the crystal-clear waters of the Costa Daurada. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Playa de la Punta d'en Guineu, the atmosphere is electric yet intimate, drawing participants who are looking for a unique, invigorating way to welcome the year.

What makes this event truly special is its heartwarming purpose. Organized by the local Ajuntament de Roda de Berà in collaboration with FunSports, the swim serves a charitable cause, with all proceeds donated to the Roda de Berà Food Distribution Point. It is a fantastic example of how sport can foster community solidarity. Whether you are a seasoned open water enthusiast or a brave soul looking for your first winter dip, the warmth of the community—and the hot broth served to every participant upon finishing—makes the experience incredibly rewarding.
