Course and event details
From 2018 the swim takes place as a 750 m open water sea swim within the bay near North Hill and inside a designated safe area. The bike route is an out-and-back on roads toward the village of Porlock, described as fast and undulating and running alongside the high moorland terrain of Exmoor National Park. The run is 5 km, mixing flat paved seafront promenade and off-road trails through the woods of Culver Cliff, and includes a short climb segment before returning to the seafront to finish on the beach.
