    Perranporth Surf Life Saving Club are proud to host the 31st Perranporth Extreme Surf Triathlon. Recognised as one of the UK's oldest and toughest Triathlon's.

    Extreme is definitely our middle name! And we certainly do it with style here in Perranporth. Why not really challenge yourself in 2018 amidst the beautiful Cornish landscape?

    You start en-masse with a 1.5km cheeky surf swim off Perranporth's glorious beach. Then we test your legs with a 38km hilly and arduous bike leg up out of town and back three times, through tin mining country. Finally, you will face a 7.5km run along soft unforgiving sand and over granite cliffs to the very end of the beach and back, finishing on the village green in the heart of Perranporth.

    We are pleased to welcome our new headline sponsor: Haven Holidays who are our recommended accommodation suppliers. Cycle Logic/GIANT and SNUGG, our official bike and wetsuit sponsors will have stalls for you to peruse the latest Triathlon gear.

    The event supports Perranporth Surf Life Saving Club and members young and old come together with the community, local businesses, provide support and safety cover for the whole race day. You will truly feel the amazing vibe this brings to the whole event and it is something which brings back competitors year after year.

    The question is....are you tough enough?
