swimrun.no proudly presents Swimrun to the World’s End. After a fantastic race in August 2016 we will be racing again at 19th August 2017.
52km run - 9000m swim through the most beautiful Faerder Nationalpark to the World’s End
Through the day, you will experience more than 20 islands in Oslofjorden, the most beautiful archipelago in Norway. The race starts at Ringhaugstranda and ends at the World’s End, the southernmost tip of the island of Tjoeme. Several of the islands are part of the national park Faerder Nasjonalpark. Every time you get to a new island, you run over it and swim to the next island. The longest swim stage is 1,100 m and the longest run stage is 7,5km. In total you will cover over 52 km of running and 9,000 m of swimming.
swimrun.no is a unique race in the most stunning skerries. You compete in teams of two persons, and the first team to reach World’s End wins. We have women’s, men’s and mixed teams. You only need a partner, a wetsuit and a pair of running shoes to compete.
swimrun.no is one of the toughest one-day events in Norway. You will need endurance, swim and run skills and the ability to navigate on and between the islands. The run courses will be marked, and the swim stages will be marked by flags and banners.
The race offers great nature experiences and a fierce battle against the elements. You can’t stop, you have to keep on fighting. There are three cut-off times and five aid stations with food and fluids. We are very serious about the safety and therefore, every competitor will race with a GPS tracker. Furthermore, we will have plenty of safety boats and volunteers along the course.
The course:
The race starts at Ringhaugstrand outside of Tønsberg. After the first run stage, you run and swim south towards the Bolærne archipelago. After the Bolærne archipelago, the course will take you west towards Gåsøy, Hvaløy and Bjerkøy. After Bjerkøy, you will reach Nøtterøy, and then it is time for a longer run stage to Vrengensundet. When you have crossed Vrengensundet, the longest run stage of the race is waiting. You run south via a beautiful coastal path towards Engø Gård. After leaving Brotsoe you will enter the final 15k at Hvasser, You need to complete a tough run stage at 7.5km before you enter the last swim leg to the race hotel. The last stage passes the race hotel, Havna Hotell, before moving south towards World’s End.
The race is tough. Rocks, forest paths and open water with waves and currents make the course very challenging. In return, it is extremely beautiful. We reckon a finishing time around 7 hours for the fastest teams in 2017.
swimrun.no welcomes 100 teams at the starting line 19th. August at 0500hrs
