Cameron Cup 2026

The Cameron Cup honours the many years of contribution to the club made by Ewan Cameron from its inception to his departure in 2025. Ewan loved an unusual race and was a founder of the Sheraton to Sharq Swim-Run as a hmage to Otillo races. This year that race could not go ahead but the Cameron Cup and the crazy swim-run concept live on.
