Registration/start
Meet on the beach in front of the Pilchard Inn, Burgh Island at 4.15pm on Saturday 9th August to ensure you have checked in and collected your hat by 4:45pm ready for the safety briefing.
The race will start at 5.00 pm from the front of the Pilchard Inn. NB Please check your emails on Friday 8th August and Saturday morning for final race instructions as timings and race start location are subject to change due to the weather and state of the tide.
Finish
Make sure that the marshals at the finish have registered your number (we don’t want to send out search parties unnecessarily!). As you finish your run, you will be handed a numbered ball showing your finish position in the Aquathon. Once you have received your ball, place it into a bucket labelled with your village’s name.
After the finish you will be handed 2 Dubloons - a silver one to pay for your pasty and a gold one to pay for your pint at The Sloop
