River Arun 3.8k swim

2021 will be the 12th running of this classic event which is rapidly becoming an early sell out. This is a unique chance to swim the River Arun over the 3.8km Ironman Distance from Ford Marina to the RNLI at Littlehampton. The River Arun is the second fastest tidal river in the UK so you're virtually guaranteed a Personal Best as you start as the current starts to ebb in your favour. All the usual REP safety cover will be provided including the Harbour Master's launch, pilot boat, safety RIBS, kayaks and Sussex Search & Rescue Team on the river bank.

Wetsuits will be compulsory. We’ll take you by coach to the start holding point at Ford Church and then all you’ve got to do is swim back! Entry fee includes a donation to the RNLI, live timing, prizes and free photos. Catering at the Harbour Lights Café. Registration will take place at the RNLI Station in Surrey Street, Littlehampton, West Sussex, BN17 3BL between 10:30 and 12:30hrs. We suggest you initially aim to park at Coastguard Road (BN17 5LH), which is the close to the Harbour Park Amusements. From here it's only a short walk to the RNLI.

River Adur 5k swim (SOLD OUT)

The River Adur 5km Swim is now in its 4th year and with the tide with you all the way it’ll definitely be the quickest 5km you’ll ever swim. Race numbers for this event are limited to 350. The vast majority of swimmers will swim, but for those who fancy something different you can use a set of Fins to speed your way to the finish. We’ll take you by vintage coach to the start, drop you off at high tide and you make your way back to Shoreham-by-Sea on the tide. You’ll have to negotiate the sandbanks & bridges for the quickest route, we guarantee some of you will run aground! The closer you get to Shoreham the tide increases in speed will pick through the mussel beds to push you all the way to the finish line. All the usual REP safety cover will be provided, including RIBs, kayaks and safety spotters on the river bank. Race HQ is the Adur Centre, Brighton Road, Shoreham-by-Sea BN43 5LT.

Wetsuits are compulsory. Competitors will receive a memento, hot & cold drinks, flapjack, silicone swim cap and Protein Balls. Shoreham town centre is conveniently located across the bridge with plenty of bars and restaurants along the river for that perfect post-race drink or meal; we might event join you!
