Wales Swimrun

About the Event

Forge your own legend along a coastline carved by the sea and wind. The Wales Swimrun on Saturday, 1st August 2026 is an elemental challenge set within the UK's only coastal national park, traversing the iconic Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Choose your adventure: the full-distance epic (7km swim / 26km run) or the formidable sprint (4.7km swim / 14km run), each demanding you scramble across craggy coves, plunge into crystalline waters, and conquer blue-flag beaches. As an ENVOL Endorsed course, this event is a true test of versatility and grit, offering both solo and team formats against a backdrop of staggering, unforgiving beauty. This is more than a race—it’s a raw, unforgettable journey where every transition is written in salt spray and sea breeze. Answer the call of the wild Welsh coast and define your limits.
