About the race
Fredrik Hedlund
Founder & Race director
Welcome to a truly special swimrun race in a very inclusive format, right in the middle of Östersjöfestivalen.
This is a swimrun relay where you sign up as a team of two — or sign up solo and get drawn with a partner. The start, the changeover and the finish all sit right by Restaurang Italli and the Open Air festival area, so the crowd is always close.
Teams of two. The crowd right there.
Each lap is 1,300 m of running and 200 m of swimming. Each athlete does four laps, you switch between every lap, and the team does eight laps together. The race runs in the Men's, Mixed and Women's classes with a common start.
Whether you are going for the podium or just want to try a relay for the first time, you are warmly welcome. See you on the pier!
The course
1.5 km lap · 2 runs + 1 swim · 8 laps/team

After the finish
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible! Perfect weather and water temperature, that just does not happen. Great fun, social and intense. And seriously tough.
A concept this special only comes together through great collaboration, together with all the fantastic athletes and everyone watching from the pier. An extra big thank you to Amanda Nilsson as announcer, Maria Larsson for the HOKA Island Challenge material and Peter Wiktorsson for a razor-sharp film.
We are doing this again, right?
