ÖTILLÖ SWIMRUN MALTA
November 5, 2022

Malta is a melting pot of many cultures. From the Saracen to the Knights templar, with amazing cultural buildings and heritage. Malta is in the Southern Mediterranean with flight connections all over Europe. In the shoulder months the water is warm and the air temperature is perfect for Swimrun. The island is dry, with a coast line full of coves and inlets. The trail- running is fast and the swims are spectacular with extremely clear water.

The area around the finish line is a small swimrun heaven with lots of trails and great swims. If we have some rare rain the mud sections will be a special treat.

This is a perfect trip to the Mediterranean, to visit historical sights and to enjoy some sun and warm water.

This race course has everything you can dream of in an ÖTILLÖ Swimrun World Series race. It feels remote with lots of transitions and it is stunning.

Along the way you will find some surprises.
