How it Works

Introducing the Blue Army Aqua Challenge!

This new year, resolve to help us defeat type 1 diabetes. Over the months of January & February, beat the heat and challenge yourself to achieve a KM target in the water sport of your choice by joining the Blue Army Aqua Challenge.

You can swim, kayak, stand up paddleboard (SUP), surf or row anywhere in Australia while raising funds for JDRF to help accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes.

Challenge yourself

Over 2 months from January to February, challenge yourself to achieve the most KMs each week while raising funds for a meaningful cause. Log your KMs by simply connecting your free Strava or MapMyFitness account to automatically update your achievements or enter the KMs manually as and when you like. 

Whether you’re experienced in the sport of your choice or just someone who loves to spend summers in the water, this event allows you to pick a challenge that suits you.
