Bacotech SwimRun

What is a SwimRun?

A fun sport in nature, on a completely traffic-free course! Traditionally, this is done in teams of 2, so you run and swim together. However, each year we also offer the option to participate individually, lowering the threshold and giving beginners the chance to try the sport on the shorter distance. In a swimrun, you constantly alternate between running and swimming. We start with a short run so that you're warmed up before heading into the water.

Combine swimming and running!

SwimRun is a unique sport typically done in teams of two, combining open water swimming with trail running. Throughout the race, participants alternate regularly between running and swimming segments.


During the race, a team must always stay together. Equipment such as paddles, wetsuits, swim fins, pool buoys, etc., are allowed, but you must keep all of it with you throughout the entire race. The most important rule is that you must finish with all the equipment you started with!
