The SwimRun
Powered by XTERRA WETSUITS
WHAT IS IT?
SWIMRUN is an exciting new sport sweeping the world; with a hint of adventure racing and flair of the multi-sport similar to a triathlon. Steeped in Swedish legend and solid foundation, as with all great sports, based on a drunken bar bet. You race in 2 person teams required to race together. You are challenged with a mix of alternating running and swimming legs. You are required to start and finish the race with all your gear, whatever you choose.
