Mudskipper Events
As a division of Canaqua Sports Inc, Mudskipper Events represents our entry into the international open water swim and swimrun markets and is the face of Canaqua Sports outside of Canada. Our growth has been rapid, as we have gone from 8 events in 2019, to over 20 events in 2026, and we have plans to add new events each year as we develop a North American series of events.
Canaqua Sports has been running events since 2015, starting with 2 open water swims, and added swimrun to the fold in 2017 with our first event in Sudbury Ontario. We branded our swimrun events as the Mudskipper Swimrun Challenge is 2020, and since then we have grown from 8 events to over 20 events, and in 2025 we opened a number of events in the United States. Moving forward, we are looking to continue our growth in the United States while we work towards adding events internationally.
Any events will run outside of Canada will be run under the banner of Mudskipper Events. Our event names are as follows: Mudskipper SwimRun Challenge, Mudskipper Swims, Mudskipper Championship Series and the Mudskipper 15K Ultra Swim.
Our goal is simple. To build an international series of events that promote heath and fitness through sports that will challenge our participants and provide them with an outlet to perform to the best of their ability.
