SwimRun in Europe

Planning your race

SwimRun involves repeated swim and run sections, often from island to island or along lakes and coastlines. You run in a wetsuit and swim in running shoes; many races are contested in pairs who must stay together. Total distances range from short beginner-friendly formats to long, all-day races. Before entering, check the mandatory equipment, water temperature, cut-off times and team rules. Always refer to the official event website for definitive information.
