Salty Events are the original Wind Farm Challenge organisers and it is the ultimate local challenge.

​

In 2020, creator Nikki Gatland swam to the Rampion Wind Farm, and back, becoming the first person to do so.  Nikki now invites you to join her out at the wind farm to swim yourself the 15km back to land.

What is SwimRun?

​

SwimRun is a multi discipline event, consisting of swimming and running but there is no transition in between each discipline.  Athletes were a combination of a wetsuit, trainers, hat and goggles and pull buoy and hand paddles. The wetsuit is typically a short legged wetsuit to enable a less restrictive run, but any wetsuit can be used.  The trainers are worn during the swim, and as athletes exit the water, they get straight into the run section.  The use of the pull buoy and paddles supports the heavier legs and drag created from the trainers.

We believe in the power of open water and supporting the mental health and wellbeing of our local emergency service workers. That's why our profits will be donated to the charity Mind and to a local open water and paddle boarding project, run at Hove Lagoon.
