Redrocks SwimRun Challenge

About the Event

Welcome to the inaugural Red Rocks Swimrun Challenge!

Set along the scenic shores of Lake Champlain at Red Rocks Park in South Burlington, Vermont, this unique SwimRun event is designed for everyone—from experienced endurance athletes looking to test their limits to newcomers curious about trying SwimRun for the first time.

The format is simple:

One loop consists of:
• 250m Swim
• 1.5 Mile Run
• 250m Swim

Participants will have 2 hours to complete as many full loops as possible.

Race Divisions:

Solo Male
Solo Female
2-Person Coed Team
2-Person Female Team
2-Person Male Team

For athletes chasing a podium spot, the challenge is simple: complete the most laps within the 2-hour time limit. If multiple athletes finish with the same number of laps, placement will be determined by fastest cumulative time.

For athletes focused on personal goals, adventure, or simply trying SwimRun for the first time, the format is equally rewarding. Whether your goal is one loop or ten, you’ll be surrounded by supportive athletes, great volunteers, and an encouraging atmosphere.

Expect:
• A scenic lakefront course
• A fun and inclusive community
• Post-race snacks and socializing
• Music and good vibes
• A chance to discover why swimrun is one of the fastest-growing endurance sports

No matter your pace or experience level, the Red Rocks Swimrun Challenge is about getting outside, challenging yourself, and sharing an unforgettable day with fellow athletes.

How many loops can you complete?

About South Burlington

Learn more about the host city, South Burlington.

South Burlington is a city in Northwest Vermont. It is a suburb of Burlington and is the second largest city in the state. Unlike most sizable Vermont communities, it doesn't have a downtown of any sort since most of the city's development has occurred in the last few decades. The city has intelligently reserved a large tract of land near the busiest intersection in town to construct a downtown, however they haven't yet decided how they want this done. Unfortunately, there's nothing there but a dirt road and some trees.
