March the 5th will be the last day to register with reduced price to the 15th Neda el Món Illes Medes per la Marató de TV3 by ZOGGS. This crossing is a unique and very special open waters event. Very special for two reasons: because it is the only solidarity open waters event from Catalonia which destinates 100% of the benefits to the TV3 Marathon, and because it takes place at the Medes Islands Natural Park, a superlative natural environment.

Neda el Món is going to transform this open waters competition into a great event: You will be able to choose the length of the crossing according to your swimming possibilities, there will be a crossing for kids, the best rands will be displayed, music and a meet-and-greet with the best swimmers.

Here you have all the info.

Surely you know someone who does not feel like swimming 3,900 m or 5,100 m, but what about 1,700 m ? That's one of the distances we've in the program of the 15th Neda el Món Illes Medes per la Marató de TV3 by ZOGGS that will be held on May the 5th!

The start of the swim will be at the Meda Gran, and the finish at the Estartit beach. A glass bottom boat will take the swimmers to the start.

From the beginning, in 2010, the Neda el Món Illes Medes per la Marató de TV3 by ZOGGS has been the only popular 100% charitable crossing in Catalonia.  From now on, the 2022 edition, we want it to be the most sustainable too, from environmental point of view. And we want it to be sustainable in 1) mobility and 2) waste management:

1. Sustainable mobility, using motorized vehicles on land as few as possible, encouraging public transport, optimizing the motorized vehicles and promoting non-motorized transport: walking, cycling, using skateboards…
2. Sustainable waste management, recycling plastics, paper and organics. At the departure area and the arrival area you will find yellow containers for the plastic packaging and cups, blue containers for paper, and brown containers for organics. At the food and drink supply during the crossing, all swimmers will get a recyclable cup which they must use so the Neda el Món staff will refill it each time. Swimmers must keep that cup.

Obviously, in order to achieve the most sustainable possible event, we need the collaboration of all swim addicts. Altogether we will do it!

Only 2 places available for Rhodes-Marmaris 2024! The first edition of the Rhodes-Marmaris 2023 was a total success, with 14 out of 14 swimmers from Greece to Turkey.

As you know, Rhodes-Marmaris is the crossing from Greece to Turkey, from Europe to Asia that Neda el Món is preparing for the next October 2024.
