The Tenfoot Trek which will take place at the same time as the Tenfoot Swim will make its return to the Pembrokeshire summer calendar next month.

The event, which runs as part of and alongside the larger TenFoot Swim event, will be available to walkers looking to follow the exploits of the swimmers as they navigate ‘Wales’ toughest open sea swim’, leaving Tenby and ending up in Saundersfoot after a gruelling 5km.

After seeing off the swimmers from Tenby’s North Beach on July 21, participants will then embark on a walk - or trek - along the coastal path from Tenby to Saundersfoot.

According to Chris Williams, one of the organisers of the event: “Walkers will not only take in the breath-taking views of our Pembrokeshire coast, but also be able to track the progress of the swimmers as they swim the 5k distance, which promises to be a spectacular sight!”

The TenFoot Swim and Trek is a charity event, with all of the proceeds going to Wales Air Ambulance and two local charities, the Dai Rees Foundation, and one which has yet to be chosen by public vote.

Local estate agency FBM is sponsoring the ‘Trek’ event, with the holiday letting department sponsoring the main event as a whole.

Ed Spence, estates manager for the Tenby branch of FBM, said “The whole TenFoot experience was a huge success in its first year, and so we were delighted when the opportunity to sponsor the Trek came around, as it is great to be involved in such a brilliant event that does so much for important, local and national charities.”

Entry to the trek is £15 per person and entrants will receive a Tenfoot Trek t-shirt and medal. Entry to the Tenfoot Swim has now closed as it has sold out with 300 swimmers entered, and the organisers wish to thank everyone involved for making this event so popular, and point out that there are very limited spaces available for the Footstep Run the day before also.
