ÖTILLÖ SWIMRUN WORLD SERIES
ÖTILLÖ pioneered swimrun, and are super passionate about nature reconnection. Partnering on their World Series has been a calendar highlight since 2016, and we’re stoked to be back for 2024!
Swimrun is a unique blend of trail running and wild swimming. It’s the perfect barefoot adventure sport, immersing you in the benefits of green and blue health. We’ve been ambassadors since our first swimrun almost a decade ago.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Whether you're new to swimrun or want to race against the best, and whether you’re a cold-water warrior or just keen to experience flowing through the natural world, the ÖTILLÖ Swimrun World Series has a race for you. Aside from the 'Final 15' event at the end of August, every stop on the tour features three course options:
- Experience: A relatively relaxed, short race (~7km). Ideal for new swimrunners.
- Sprint: A slightly faster, longer race (~15km) broken into more sections. Perfectly suitable for competent swimmers and runners, even if you haven’t done much swimrunning.
- World Series: A full-pace, full-distance (~40km) race with prize money and World Championships qualification up for grabs.
