Port to Pub 2026

The Mader Port to Pub with Hotel Rottnest is a quintessential West Australian sporting event in which swimmers endeavor to cross the iconic Rottnest Channel. It is one of the three prestigious swims of the Australian Triple Crown of open water swimming.

The event comprises two swim races over two distances from Leighton Beach to Rottnest Island - a 19.7km direct crossing and a 25km ultra-marathon. The swim is open to solos, duos, and teams of four and six.

The 25km ultra-marathon is open to qualified solo swimmers. It is the longest open water swim in Australia and one of the longest in the Southern Hemisphere.

Help Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) supercharge brilliant life-saving research for all cancers and sign up to participate in this iconic event. Every dollar you raise will add up to millions of dollars of impact for the 2 in 5 Australians who will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85. By fundraising for ACRF, you'll be making sure the people you love don’t miss out on the cancer research they need
