Take on the rugged and beautiful coastline of Holy Island. Starting near Southstack lighthouse, swim & rockhop through sandy bays and rocky channels, and run along high cliff edges with spectacular views of Snowdonia!

Sponsored by Zone3 & Wild Trail

Love SwimRun Holy Island will take place on the west coast of Holy Island, Anglesey, North Wales. The route will take in some of Angleseys's most stunning scenery on mainly off road terrain, including Southstack Lighthouse and the RSPB reserve, beautiful cliff top runs with views of the mountains of Snowdonia, hidden beaches, rocky swims and a tough final climb up to the finish line - the toughest part will be passing a tempting pub and not stopping, but you can always head there after claiming your medal!

NEW!!

This year will be extending our original route to make it 23k in total (previously 18km) and we will also be adding a sprint version on the route which is 10km in total but still takes in the best of the swims! The course will be fully marked and marshalled.
