The Swimrun – A Completely New Way of Doing Swimrun
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. All of this close to resturants and cafés.
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 Trail Run
Keep the adventure going on Sunday with the Grinda Trail Run! Choose between 3km, 6.5km, or 10km of scenic island trails — from a fun family jog to a fast, technical challenge, there’s a distance for everyone.
Join us for a full day of trail running and island adventure — the perfect follow-up to the Grinda Swimrun! The Grinda Trail Run, organized by Envol Swimrun, welcomes runners of all levels with three scenic courses designed for everyone, from first-timers to seasoned trail racers.
Start your journey on Grinda — where forest trails, seaside views, and a vibrant community set the tone for what’s to come.
After crossing the finish line, celebrate the day the Grinda way: relax in the sauna, take a refreshing dip, and enjoy a well-earned lunch prepared by Grinda Wärdshus.
