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.
