While much has changed over 47 years of aQuellé Midmar Mile history, there has been one constant throughout, and that’s the presence of Mike “Buthie” Arbuthnot.
The 87-year-old was one of the founders of the famous race back in 1974 and remains the only swimmer to have officially competed each year.
Arbuthnot will once again be part of the throng of thousands who will flock to Midmar Dam on the weekend on 8-9 February 2020 to take part in the world’s largest open water race.
