There will also be a raffle held with prizes on offer although the group are encouraging others to bring down prizes to add to the collection, you will also need cash to enter the raffle.

The Gyllyngvase Surf Life Saving Club also asked for extra help on their Facebook page to run the event, saying: "We will still need lots of helpers to run the day, help with sign in, finish line, set up, selling raffle tickets and water cover for the races. You can do your race and also help, so if you have a few spare hours on Sunday please let us know."
