Grinda Swimrun, A Completely New Way of Doing Swimrun
Welcome to the sixth edition of our popular Swimrun- a competition and party for everyone who likes active outdoor life in a lovely archipelago environment.
This year with a completely new and revolutionary arrangement!
In collaboration with Envol Swimrun & Grinda Wärdshus, we present the Grinda Swimrun Challenge, a swimrun suitable for everyone!
Forget the traditional point-to-point races. The Grinda Swimrun Challenge features four short, distinct courses – all starting and finishing at the same spot. Compete in a format that brings strategy, camaraderie, and excitement to the forefront.
-
Live Leaderboards: Stay updated on your ranking after every course.
-
Flexible Format: Choose between non-competitive fun or adrenaline-pumping competition.
-
Spectator-Friendly: Cheer on friends and family as they cross the start/finish line every 30 minutes.
This isn’t just a race; it’s a community-driven adventure where every participant and spectator, from beginners to elites, finds their place.
The event features two race options – The Explorer for fun and flexibility, and The Challenger for competitive thrill-seekers. Both races unfold over three exciting phases in one action-packed day.
To learn more about this unique competition format, and for registration for the big competition day:
Mark your calendars for August 22–24, 2025! The Grinda Swimrun Challenge takes center stage on Saturday, August 23, but the fun doesn’t stop there.
We welcome all contestants to spend the weekend together!
Arrive on friday evening for some pep-talk in front of the bonfire, followed by dinner and an overnight stay to wake up rested and ready for the big competition day!
During the competition day, there is a lunch package waiting for you at the finish line, followed by some relaxing time in the sauna before the prize ceremony.
For the prize ceremony there is a complementary beverage served, together with some light snacks. The day ends with a closing dinner at the Sea Lodge, where a generous barbecue buffet is served.
We eat together (hopefully outside around the open fire) and talk about the adventures and experiences during the race as well as historical and future great deeds!
Once the evening comes to an end, it’s time to crawl into the cozy Sea Lodge rooms.
Both mornings, a delicious archipelago breakfast is served with a view over the bay.
Choose between an one- or two-night package at the Sea Loge with accommodation in the 2- or 4-bed rooms, several meals and more already included. For those of you who prefer a slightly higher standard for the accommodation but still want to enjoy the package with all its benefits; there is the possibility to upgrade the accommodation to our hotel.
For those of you who would prefer to be more independent with accommodation and meals; we also offer a selection of cabins to rent as well as a camping area if you want to bring your own tent.
You are warmly welcome to celebrate a wonderful weekend with us at Grinda!
