The Saanich Peninsula Piranhas Swim Club are proud to host our second annual Splash for Cash fundraiser.
Our fundraising goal for this year is $15000. We hope to be able to use fundraised money to
help offset meet fees for our swimmers, to make it more affordable for all to compete. We are a volunteer organized youth sports club, and continue to work to make swimming more affordable for our young athletes and families through a variety of fundraising opportunities.
Our Splash for Cash will be a club wide event with swimmers from all our groups (ages 6-18). They will be challenging themselves to swim as many laps as possible in 1 hour for our senior swimmers and 30 minutes for our junior swimmers.
We want to thank our community in advance for all of their support!

FORGE is a race built around a unique and growing format known as the "backyard ultra." Unlike traditional races where runners aim for a set distance or time, backyard ultras follow a simple but demanding structure: runners complete a 4.167-mile loop every hour, on the hour. Whatever time remains after finishing a lap becomes their rest period before starting again at the top of the next hour. This continues until the event reaches its predetermined duration—in FORGE’s case, 12 hours.
The format is gaining popularity worldwide because it removes the pressure of speed and replaces it with a test of endurance, pacing, and mental toughness. Fast runners and steady runners line up together every hour. Everyone starts at the same time, and the race unfolds differently for each participant. Some will aim for a personal-best distance, while others will push to complete all 12 laps.
One of the most unique aspects of this style of racing is the community it creates. The time between laps—when runners gather, recover, and prepare for the next start—becomes a shared experience. Conversations happen. Encouragement is exchanged. Whether you’re completing your first backyard-style event or chasing a new personal milestone, you’re not doing it alone.
At its core, FORGE is about stepping into a challenge and discovering what you’re capable of. There’s no finish line waiting for you at a set distance—just another lap, another opportunity to push forward. It’s an event designed to be hard, but also to be welcoming, rewarding, and deeply memorable.
