Scilly60 Events

Adventurous inter-island sporting events within the archipelago of Scilly

About Scilly60 Events

Scilly60 started with the 60km multi-stage, ultra marathon trail race in 2023. It has now evolved into providing many adventurous inter-island sporting events within the  beautiful Isles of Scilly archipelago.

You can now see a documentary about the first ever Scilly60 event produced for Channel 4, called “Our Tiny Islands” below.

Scilly60 was created and is organised by Wez Swain. Wez is an outdoors enthusiast and enjoys many adventurous activities. Whether it be Running, Climbing, Kayaking, Open Water Swimming or Cycling; Wez loves to share his passions with others. 

He has competed in the World Swimrun Championships in 2017 & 2022. He has completed the 100mile Arc of Attrition and is just putting the finishing touches to a rock climbing guidebook for the Isles of Scilly.

In April 2024, he became the first person to swim from

St Agnes to Bishop Rock Lighthouse.

Wez has also walked the 630mile South West Coast Path. Click Here to read his diary, ‘The Power of a Pasty!’
