Swimmers and runners with diverse abilities, join us for Sweden's first dedicated Para-Swimrun event on August 29, 2026. This pioneering race is inspired by adventurer Aron Andersson and aims to create a welcoming environment where everyone can experience the thrill of Swimrun. The course spans approximately 5 kilometers in Edsviken Sollentuna, featuring alternating segments of running and swimming designed for accessibility and inclusivity. Teams consist of three members: two competitors who alternate during transitions, and one support person responsible for transporting any necessary equipment or mobility aids between stages. This flexible setup ensures that participants can focus on enjoying the race while having their needs met. The event takes place at Arena Edsvik after EX Edsviken's final meal service, offering a unique opportunity to explore Swimrun in a safe and supportive setting. The course is tailored for all skill levels, encouraging newcomers as well as seasoned athletes to challenge themselves and contribute to the growth of this inclusive sport in Sweden. Registration fees cover entry into the race along with an array of complementary benefits such as catering at a celebratory meal event featuring delicious pizza and drinks, professional photography services capturing memorable moments throughout the day, and more. All proceeds beyond operational costs will be donated to charitable causes. Join us for a transformative experience that celebrates diversity in sports while fostering community among participants.
