An 8 Mile assisted Open Water Swim from Bridgeport to Valley Forge National Park and back in the Schuylkill River.

This swim was created based on an exploratory swim done by 4 men in September 2014. Jesse Kelly, Nabil Radouane, John Kenny, and Charles Bender. The inaugural race was completed in 2015. This swim is now dedicated to Charles Bender, who died tragically of heart failure in March 2017.
