Event overview
Run - swim - repeat.
Clevedon SwimRun is a short-distance event with 4-7K running and 500m-1K of swimming, split into short runs each divided by a 250m swim in Clevedon marine lake.
What to expect
- The run starts at Event HQ at Salthouse Fields, goes along the promenade, around the bandstand, across the beach to the lake, and enters via the slipway.
- Swim up the lake alongside the sea wall, exit at the pump house and go up the ramp, turning right to go up and over Poets Walk in an anticlockwise direction. Turn left at the bottom of Poets Walk and head towards St Andrews Church, taking the path down to the flats, then head left back to Marine Lake using the steps opposite the Salthouse Pub car park. You will then swim a length of the lake, entering at the steps and exiting at the splash pool steps.
- Exit the lake, and head up to the prom using the ramp and run along the prom, around the bandstand then back across the beach to the lake.
- Repeat, depending on distance chosen.
- Exit the lake, head up the ramp and across the prom to do a lap of the Salthouse Fields to finish at HQ.

The event was superbly organised with updates beforehand to keep us well informed. Marshals were absolutely brilliant – very enthusiastic, very helpful, and all showed great encouragement. Our first class event. Anne H
Brilliant event, would highly recommend and do again. Michael C
The event organisers were helpful, attentive and personable. Clevedon is a beautiful place to run and the lido was manned well and instructions and napping were wonderfully clear. Would definitely recommend if you fancy something a little different😊 Kerry S
