The Old Harry Swim Challenge 2025

Discover stunning vistas both above and below the water's surface, all while championing conservation in this iconic race.

Navigate over sea grass forests and a sanctuary for seahorses, culminating in the renowned chalk stacks.

Opt for the 2.5km challenge which involves a start at Knoll Beach, swimming out to Old Harry Rocks, where you'll be extracted by powerboat back to shore. Exhilarating!

Our commitment to a light ecological footprint means a single registration tent, one convenient bag drop, no onsite sales, and minimal buoy placements—preserving the delicate seagrass ecosystem.
