Swimrun Gower

Start times are to be confirmed.

Mandatory kit

• Photo identification
• Suitable footwear
• A wetsuit suitable for temperatures of 10 degrees C
• A whistle
• A reusable cup or flask – any kind will be accepted as long as they are genuinely reusable
• An inflated and brightly coloured tow float (soloists)

Athletes can, if they wish, use paddles, pull buoys and fins (no longer than 15cm, measured from the tow), and teams may also use tow ropes. 

Race finish and post-race social

The race finishes on the grounds of Underhill Park. Race finishers will receive an engraved slate medal and be able to collect their drop bags and change. You will be asked to hand back your bib. Your finisher’s t-shirt will be available for you at this point, unless you opted to plant a tree instead of a T.

There will be some energy bars, crisps, bananas, and water at the finish line for athletes. Other food available for purchase in the Hub (to be confirmed).

Prize Giving will take place 15 minutes after the last podium-placed team has completed the event.

The event is based in the Mumbles area. The nearest town is Mumbles, a short walk from Underhill Park, the event base and finish zone. Please do check for parking in the area before arrival.

Free coach transfer

Athletes can board the complementary coaches that we have organised for you to get to the race start. The coaches are not mandatory but parking near the start zone but can be limited when busy. 

NOTE: You will need to board the coaches changed and ready to race. There are no changing facilities at the race start.

This event is continuously looking at ways to be more sustainable – there's a long way to go, but presently:

Cups

No cups at feed stations. All athletes MUST carry a reusable cup with them on the event.

T-shirts

We all love a t-shirt when we finish. However, there is the choice of a t-shirt OR for the event to plant a tree on your behalf.
