Route information
This 3 day trail and swim festival set at Hope Cove, Devon, has something for the whole family to enjoy. With camping and race finishes happening in the festival field, it is a fantastic base for a weekend of fun.
The organisers have lined up some of the best coast routes on the South West Coast path for the night run, 5k, 10k or half marathon, marathon and Summit Wild Ultra as well as kid’s races.
The festival will kick off with a family friendly guided run on Friday, before the swim run and Hard Rock Coast swim, as well as 10k and 5k events on Saturday and the half marathon, marathon and ultra on the Sunday.
