minute miles (21min/km) or faster this is for you.

6 major islands with a walk on each to connect to the next swim start.

Saturday. Otherwise relax!

New for 2019 this is our first race. It involves a complete
circumnavigation of St. Mary’s, the largest island in the archipelago.
But to make it more interesting (and safer!) it will be a
stage race, split into 4 legs of 3 - 4km each.
You can enter as a solo or in a relay team of 2, 3 or 4. At
each stop there will be a quick feed and then the restart will be handicapped
with slowest from previous leg going in first.
Come along and be the first to experience the Scilly 360
Swim Race.
