SWIM, RUN, REPEAT

If you love wild places, beautiful scenery and an endurance challenge, swimrun is the perfect outdoors activity for you

Swimrun is a multiplestage sport that involves participants running and swimming on a point-to-point race course. The original swimrun race, Ötillö, took place in Sweden in 2006, on the Stockholm archipelago. Ötillö means ‘islandto-island’, and it sees athletes journey across and between 24 islands by swimming and running. All events take place around lakes, lochs, or on the coast, with run sections across islands or along the shore. Typically, competitors race in pairs, tethered together – and they don’t change clothes in transitions, as in other multisport events.
