SWIMRUN

Swimrun is an exhilarating race combining both swimming and running. Participants navigate a course through woods, trails, and natural paths, using naturally occurring swim entry and exit points. With no transitions, you carry all your gear with you throughout the race. The course is marked with tape, guiding you along the route, but you need to stay alert, self-sufficient, and able to follow signs. It’s an amazing experience that connects you with nature and awakens the adventurer within!

How to Get Started in Swimrun

To participate, you just need to be physically fit, capable of swimming in open water, and comfortable running on mixed terrain over race distances.

What You’ll Need

  • Running shoes/trainers (worn throughout the event)
  • A wetsuit, tri-suit, or swimwear
  • Optional equipment like paddles and pull buoys (must be carried with you from start to finish)
