The Tide Race

This spectacular 10km race begins on the island of Tresco and, thanks to a rare alignment of the sun and moon, the tide drops just long enough to reveal the famous sandbar allowing runners to traverse across the sand to Bryher

Runners will:

• Start on Tresco
• Run across the temporarily exposed sandbar to Bryher
• Complete a full circumnavigation of Bryher
• Then race back across the sandbar to Tresco — before the tide returns

This strict cut-off is in place for safety and is non-negotiable. Runners have exactly 2 hours to complete the course and any runner who finishes the Bryher loop with less than 15 minutes remaining will not be permitted to start the return crossing due to the incoming tide.

If you want to get involved but the 2 hour window sounds a little stressful, why not enter with the whole family and take part in the special 2km Tide Race available for children and families

• This race starts 15 minutes before low tide
• The route runs from Tresco across the sandbar to Bryher and back again
• Children will be given a Scilly60 Swimrun vest to borrow to make them easy to spot.
