The Rocky Horror Swim Run is now part of the Something Wild Festival weekend in South Devon, with the events taking place at the beautiful South Milton Sands.

It includes  a LONG 16.5 mile swim run with 4 swim legs and 4 run legs and a SHORT 7 mile swim run with 3 swim legs and 3 run legs.

All participants will collect their race packs on Friday evening or Sunday morning at the festival site in Hope Cove.

Races will start just before high tide at 7.30am with The LONG swim run and Rock Sea Swim getting underway at 7.30am and the other events all getting underway at 9.30am, from the northern section of at South Milton Sands by the Spit.

Registration and the prize ceremony, take place at the festival site in Hope Cove.

All swim runs follow the South West Coastpath from South Milton Sands, to Outer Hope, where the second swim leg takes place.

Here swim runners swim to Inner Hope, via a marker buoy or one of our safety kayakers (a 400m swim). Short swim runners then run back to South Milton Sands.

Long Swim Runners continue on to Salcombe’s North Sands for the third swim leg before running back along the coast path for their final swim section from Inner Hope to Outer Hope (opposite direction).

Both short and Long swim runs end at South Milton Sands, via a short inland section to East Soar.

NB: The route is a repeat of the Rocky Horror Swim Run 2021 but with a different finish at Hope Cove, which is why it’s about 1.5 miles less in distance.
