Where does it come from?
Four Swedes came up with this idea and competed privately against each other in teams of two over a 75 km distance across 23 islands around Stockholm. The principle of "Ö-TILL-Ö" ("from island to island") spread and quickly led to the first official competition in Sweden in 2006. There are now over 40 SwimRuns there. The idea finally made it to Rheinsberg in 2016. Since then, it has been impossible to imagine Rheinsberg without the SwimRun.
A SwimRun has it all
- Competition variant for endurance athletes
- running on natural paths and swimming through open waters
- clothing is not changed between swimming and running
- five different routes are possible for all age and ability groups
- traditionally starts in teams
Rheinsberg - can Germany Cup and Championships
The SwimRun Rheinsberg is part of various cups and series:
- mySwimRun Championships: In 2022, numerous SwimRun organisers from Europe joined forces to form a joint series. Since 2024, you have had to qualify to take part in the championships and start at least two races in the series. It comprises 13 beautiful venues across Europe.
- SwimRun Deutschland Cup: the SwimRun Deutschland Cup was launched a little earlier in 2016. Seven races have been part of it since 2022. The cup series determines the most versatile national SwimRunners. In the context of the SwimRun Deutschland Cup, versatile means experiencing as many wonderful SwimRun events as possible.
