Relay teams must purchase packs for each team member. The deadline to buy medal and t-shirt packs is one month before the event.

Course

The event uses a sprint-distance format with the following legs:

  • 750m open water sea swim in the bay near North Hill
  • 20km bike route out and back towards Porlock
  • 5km run mixing seafront promenade and off-road trails

The swim takes place in the bay within a sheltered area. The bike route is described as fast and undulating on roads next to the high moorland terrain of Exmoor National Park. The run includes paved seafront sections and trails through the woods of Culver Cliff, and finishes back along the seafront onto the beach.
