Swimrun in Paradise
Scilly Swimrun 2026
Scilly Swimrun hosts the UK’s Only True Inter-Island Swimrun Events.
When Mats and Micheal, the founders of swimrun racing discovered The Isles of Scilly, they called it the Swimrun Paradise!
Saturday 11th July. St Agnes, 7km and 14km.
The St Agnes Swimrun is a 7km course, you can choose between one or two loops. This new course is a great addition to the Scilly Swimrun Series. Expect technical running and beautiful swims on the most southwestern islands in the UK!
Starting on St Agnes with a 1km run, followed by a 600m swim to get you going. Then a 1.6m run before swimming 700m from St Agnes across to the tidal island of Gugh. Running around Gugh before swimming back to St Agnes and a final run back to the community center. Will you go for one loop or two?
