Event Overview
The Kaolinite is a multi-discipline sports event held at Blackpool Pit near St Austell. This location is a former clay pit that closed in 2007 after being operational for 170 years. The site is situated near Trewoon and provides a unique setting for swimming and running activities within the historic industrial landscape.
Participants can choose from various formats including swimming, trail running, and combined aquathlon events. The swimming portions take place within the pit environment, while the trail run follows the terrain of the surrounding area.
The following distances and categories are available:
- 18 km Aquathlon Solo
- 18 km Aquathlon Relay
- 15 km Trail Run
- 3 km Swim
- 1.5 km Swim
The event serves as an opportunity to access a location that was once a major employer in the region, transformed from a working industrial site into a venue for outdoor endurance sports. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
