In collaboration with Envol Swimrun & Grinda Wärdshus we present Grinda Challenge Swimrun & Trail Run.
Mark your calendars: August 21-23, 2026!
Escape to Grinda for a weekend filled with sports, nature and community. Arrive on Friday, relax with a sauna and dinner by the sea. Saturday is race day with the Grinda Swimrun, and feel free to stay for Sunday’s Grinda Trail Run.
Experience Swedish summer at its best – fresh food, cold dips, good friends and unforgettable memories.
Whether you want to test your endurance in the legendary Grinda Swimrun or explore the island’s stunning trails in the Grinda Trail Run, this weekend is made for adventure lovers of all levels.
Race solo, bring friends, or make it a family outing – the island has something for everyone.
Forget traditional point-to-point races. The Grinda Swimrun Challenge is made up of four short, separate courses – all starting and finishing at the same location. Compete in a format that puts strategy, community and excitement first.
This is not just a race; it’s an adventure driven by community where everyone, from beginners to elite, finds their place.
