One Water Race is is a 250km swimrun race in Stockholm, Sweden, on Aug 18-20, 2026. See link below. If you’re not familiar with swimrun, it’s a team event where you need to stay within some number of meters of your team at all times. In this case, it’s teams of 3. I have another male and looking for a female for our team. Kind of last minute as application due on Friday, but hey, worth a shot!!
Swim run is a really fun event. This is the hardest and longest swim run event out there. No guarantee that our team would be selected, but hey, worth a shot!!
Ultra running experience and open water swimming experience would be a plus, but anyone who has done an Ironman could do well in this event, I think. Obviously would need a strong swimmer as total distance running will be around 180km running and 50 km swimming total. But to be honest, most teams don’t finish. Usually only 1 or 2 go the full distance (250 km in 60 hrs). I think it would be cool just to get in there and have the experience.
I am 46M and have done several ironman, ultras, and lots of swim run events.
I don’t know what the cost is but could probably cover it. There’s a support boat. It will be very cold at times. Orienteering is key, but I have a teammate good at that. Anyway, lots of details that aren’t important. Most important is our team needs to find a female participant who would be down for an adventure, and lots of type 2 fun. Please message me if interested!
