Every late June / early July since 1991 we've run the Shoreline Triathlon from Summerleaze Beach in Bude. The event has always been a huge success with a complete cross-section of competitors from absolute beginners and first-time triathletes right through to national team athletes.
When designing this race we just looked at what Bude had to offer. The high tide bay at Summerleaze with the breakwater sheltering it from the Atlantic swell was always going to be perfect for the open water swim. The coast road out of Bude towards Widemouth Bay is both fast and hilly and with a return to Bude via the A39 it's a natural loop. The run through town and then along the canal towpath returning via Lynstone Road produces a grand finish along the Strand and then up the length of Summerleaze Car Park. Add to this a friendly atmosphere, great event T-shirts, medals for all finishers, plenty of categories and our own unique commentator and you have an event you'll want to come back to year after year.
The fastest athletes will take around an hour to complete the course with everyone finished within 2 hours.

Organised by dedicated Looe RNLI volunteers and proudly supported by the Looe Boat Owners Association (LBOA), the Looe Raft Race is back and it’s set to be bigger, better, and wetter than ever!
One of the most popular annual events in Looe, the raft race attracts hundreds of spectators who line the Banjo Pier and quaysides on both sides of the river to catch all the action.
Watch teams navigate the river on their wildly creative and often hilariously unstable homemade rafts – it’s a unique and unforgettable family event in South East Cornwall.

TOSHER’S RACE
The race takes it’s name from the local term given to the small traditional wooden boats which used to be commonplace in days gone by. Held on the first Sunday of Feast Week. Today many of the 64 strong Mevagissey fishing fleet take part. The boats make a fine spectacle dresed as they are in coloured bunting and flags of all description, loaded with their skippers and many friends, sounding their horns. The only true Tosher involved is Petrel, skippered by long standing timekeeper and race controller
Rod Ingram, who keeps an eagle eye on proceedings from his position inside the last marker buoy. Rod calculates the handicapped start times and sends the fleet on their way at specific times. The three mile race comprises two laps of the bay, following a course around laid marker buoys.
The race ends in full view of the hordes of spectators gathered along the pier heads of Mevagissey outer harbour.
