Discover stunning vistas both above and below the water's surface, all while championing conservation in this iconic race.
Navigate over sea grass forests and a sanctuary for seahorses, culminating in the renowned chalk stacks.
Enter the 5km for a swim out to Old Harry Rocks, before turning back to shore.
Enter the 2.5km challenge which involves a swim from the beach to Old Harry Rocks, where you'll be extracted by powerboat for an exhilarating ride back to shore to wrap up your mega day!
Our commitment to a light ecological footprint means a single registration tent, one convenient bag drop, no onsite sales, and minimal buoy placements—preserving the delicate seagrass ecosystem.
Join us in supporting The National Trust's ongoing efforts at this exceptional location. Embrace the adventure while making a positive impact!
