ÖTILLÖ SWIMRUN ISLES OF SCILLY
June 4 - 5, 2022

The Isles of Scilly is truly a unique place where it is difficult to not get emotionally affected. It is one of our most iconic locations and we call it “Paradise lost”.
The Isles of Scilly are off the south-west tip of England, in the Atlantic. It looks like the Caribbean but with old English stone walls. It has been inhabited since the Stone Age and it is a mythical place. All in all there are 140 islands of which only five are inhabited. 
At times, when low tide is low, you can walk between islands. It is exceptionally beautiful with a pristine environment where the power of the Ocean is never far away! The trail- running is magical with some of the most beautiful runs we have ever done.

This race course is tough and spectacular!

On land you need to move fast, stay warm and be agile on your feet. You will swim to and from the inhabited islands of St Mary’s, Bryher, Tresco and St Martin’s. Race in pairs or solo.
