Devil's Aquathlon test run

The Devil's Aquathlon is a tough swimming and running challenge which raises funds for two charities and is designed for competitors aged 17 and above who enjoy a personal or team challenge. The event starts with a 2km swim in the lidos 50m main pool. The heating to the main pool will have been turned off at the end of our summer season (Sunday 26th September) and the water temperature will have dropped considerably. Wetsuits are advisable but not necessary. Competitors then run out of the lido and up to the Devils Chimney on Leckhampton Hill and then return to finish in the lido grounds, a round route of 10km.

This video follows a test run of the event.

The event is managed in partnership with Sandford Lido Ltd (Registered charity #1052203) and Macmillan Cancer Support (Registered charity #261017)

Only change to the video is that transition will be outside on the main lawn whatever the weather. 2010 event was wet and windy and that is how we like it.
