ÖTILLÖ SPRINT FINAL 15K
August 31, 2024

ÖTILLÖ Final15K has a NEW format
ÖTILLÖ has made two big changes to the Final 15K. First, the course will go back to its origin: All participants will have to conquer the final 15km of ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship. This means that it will be a POINT-TO-POINT race with start on Ornö and finish on Utö. Second, the Final 15K will be the first INDIVIDUAL START race in ÖTILLÖ history, which implies that a team or solo racers will start every 15 seconds. The technical trail running, beautiful swim sections, and stunning views remain the same. This is a challenging and intense course with 6 swim and 7 run sections that will make you smile all the way to the end.

See you on Utö in August!
