We are really excited to be taking on this iconic and historic event, thank you to Gavin and the team at Clevedon Open Water Events for handing us the baton for 2024 and beyond. Clevedon SwimRun is a short distance: about 6k running and 1k of swimming, split into five short runs each divided by a 250m swim in Clevedon marine lake. 1. The run starts at the Sailing Club, goes along the promenade, past the bandstand, across the beach to the lake. 2. Swim up the lake, exit and turn left past the boating pool and up the steps, go down past the kiddies playground, up the footpath beside the flats and clockwise round Poets Walk. Return to the lake via the top ramp to swim down the lake. 3. Exit the lake, head across the beach and along the prom and round the bandstand then back across the beach to the lake. 4. Repeat [2] above. 5. Exit the lake, head across the beach and along the prom to finish at the Sailing Club where refreshments are available. Clevedon SwimRun is ideal for beginners and experts alike, it’s like a tough park run with some swimming included. You don’t need any special kit, it can be done in running shorts, t-shirt and old pair of trainers. There are two classes of entry: INDIVIDUAL – do it all yourself, you know you want to! Entry is £20 per person. TEAM – find a buddy and split the effort, typically a runner and a swimmer, or do a lap each. Team members get time out to chat to others while waiting for their turn and it builds a bit of friendly competition to add to the experience. Entry is £20 per team. Swimmers may swim with or without a SwimRun wetsuit, though novices are advised to wear one. We’re looking forward to your entries coming in once they open and can’t wait to see you all gracing the start line and crossing the finish line. Thank you in advance for your support. See you on the start line!
