St Mary's Swimrun Full and Half Course
This swimrun event takes place on St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly on 27 August 2026, with the location listed as Porth Mellon. It is part of the Scilly Swimrun series and offers two course options that circumnavigate the island.
Distances offered:
- 8 km St Mary's Half Course
- 16 km St Mary's Full Course
Entrants can compete solo or as a pair. Published entry fees include solo and pair pricing for each course, with the half course showing prices from 1 May and the full course listed at specific solo and pair fees.
The event combines coastal running sections with open-water swims around the island. Mandatory kit includes a wetsuit (not a trisuit), a whistle that is easily accessible, and a foldable cup or soft flask. Optional items listed by the organiser include pull buoys or calf floats, paddles, and a tether for pairs.
Safety arrangements include a dedicated medical team on land and at sea and a large water safety team operating in powerboats to cover the swims. Participants are responsible for their own travel to and from the event; most competitors stay on St Mary's while those coming from other islands will need to arrange boat transport.
