Registration closes at midnight on Thursday August 14th or when we reach our maximum capacity. THERE WILL BE NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION. |
Welcome to the Glen Lake Swim: FANGS! This is a one AND two mile USMS-sanctioned swim race in picturesque Glen Lake in Goffstown, New Hampshire for experienced swimmers. The event is organized by the Granite State Health & Fitness Foundation, a volunteer-operated 501(c)(3) non-profit committed to supporting the community and promoting health and wellness throughout the region.
|
This swim is not for novices; the event is for experienced swimmers only. To participate, you should be able to swim one mile comfortably in 45 minutes or less. Do not sign up for the two mile race unless you are certain that you have the necessary endurance. |
THREE Exciting Contests!
Celebrate 50 years of Jaws with us! Dress and talk the part in our après swim Character Contest—think Quint’s grit, Hooper’s smarts, Brody’s nerves, the Mayor’s denial, Mrs. Kintner’s veil, Ben Gardner’s bloated face or “Bruce” him(or her)self.
Show off your sass in the ‘Bad Hat Harry’ Contest, and then, at our after-party at Mountain Base Brewery, test your shark-sized knowledge in our JAWS Trivia Challenge. Swimmers, volunteers, spectators and guests are all eligible. Join the fun—only at the Glen Lake Swim.

To qualify for this award you must be a full-time member of USMS. Most of these events require either full time membership (which costs $75 for the full year and comes with many additional benefits) or you must pay a $20 one-event fee for each swim. This makes becoming a full-time member less expensive than paying four separate one-event fees!

* Note: One of the MBCC events is on the same date as the Charles River Swim, however MBCC offers a virtual option. To qualify for the award a swimmer only needs to participate in four of the five events. If for some reason one of the events is cancelled, then the series wil be three out of four. You do not need to sign up for the series separately. If you are a USMS member you are automatically in the hunt! |
