KIRKLAND LAKE
MILE OF GOLD INVITATIONAL
APRIL 28-30
HOSTED BY
THE KIRKLAND LAKE
AQUATIC CLUB
KIRKLAND LAKE MILE OF GOLD
~ A BRIEF HISTORY ~
Kirkland Lake, Ontario is a gold mining town. Miners from this small town have
produced millions of ounces of gold over the past 100 years. At one time there
were 7 gold mines along a one mile strip, hence the term “Mile of Gold”.
As the story goes, when the main road in the town was first being built,
construction workers were instructed to collect waste rock from one of the local
mines to use as fill. However, instead of loading waste rock, the workers
accidently took rock which had not yet been processed and contained high grade
gold ore. By the time the error had been discovered the rock had been laid and
the road built, it was too late to get the rock back.
From that day on, it really was a “Mile of Gold”.
We welcome teams to attend this one-of a-kind swim meet. Athletes will not just
compete for gold coloured medals and win prizes, but rather, the opportunity to
participate in an exciting 1 mile relay race and win an ounce of real pure gold!
A second ounce of gold will be awarded to the club with the highest total FINA
points for 15/over age group
No other meet like this in the world.
