ÖTILLÖ, THE SWIMRUN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2024

September 2, 2024

ÖTILLÖ is the jewel in the crown. It is the mother of all swimruns and the origin of the sport. ÖTILLÖ is considered to be one of the most prestigious endurance races in the world.
ÖTILLÖ is the original swimrun race, it is the Swimrun World Championship. 

To finish the ÖTILLÖ course from dawn to dusk, you must be very fit and very fast in and out of the water as there are 46 transitions. You will swim between the 24 islands and run over them. The total distance is 75 kilometres of which 10 km are open-water swimming and 65 km are trail-running.

The start at Sandhamn is mythical and the finish at Utö Värdshus on Utö is like coming to Nirvana.
