IT IS NOW OFFICIAL - SWIMRUN PART OF TRIATHLON
We are very proud and happy that Swimrun is now an official part of the Swedish Triathlon Federation. Our co-founder Nicholas has been working on this for the past 1.5 years, and we truly believe this is a major step in developing Swimrun in Sweden and making the sport we love more accessible to both new and experienced Swimrunners.
“At the annual meeting in March, we made an important and long-awaited decision – to welcome Swimrun into the Swedish Triathlon Federation. It is a natural step in our development as a federation and an opportunity to unite and strengthen a sport with strong Swedish roots and great potential.
We will now continue the work of building structure, creating the conditions for development, and at the same time preserving what makes Swimrun unique. We will do this in close dialogue with organizers, clubs, and athletes – with the ambition of taking both Swimrun and the Swedish Triathlon Federation to the next level together.
Mikael Kjellander
Secretary General

SWIMRUN SPRINT CUP KICKS-OFF JUNE 6 - RUNMARÖ
The newly launched Swimrun Sprint Cup is just around the corner, and the first stop in this exciting race series is Runmarö on Sweden’s National Day, June 6. We are prouder than ever to bring Swimrun to this iconic island and to showcase that Runmarö has so much more to offer than the gravel roads featured during ÖTILLÖ.
We’ll treat you to warm and enjoyable swimming in the island’s lakes—called “träsk” in the archipelago, for some reason. But don’t worry—they are crystal clear and significantly warmer than the ocean. Of course, you’ll also swim in the sea as we make our way to Storholmen, Storön and several smaller islands in between.
After the race, we’ll gather at the local bistro, Svängen, for a relaxed “After Swimrun” with pizza, drinks and maybe a beer or two—all included in the entry fee.
