The Holy Grail:
ÖTILLÖ World Championship

At the heart of the sport lies the ÖTILLÖ World Championship, held each September in the rugged Swedish archipelago. It’s where the sport of swimrun began — and it remains the most iconic and challenging event on the calendar.

You can’t simply sign up: entry is by qualification only, via top placements in ÖTILLÖ merit races or through the limited-number lottery or partner slots.

Think of it as what Kona is to Ironman, the ÖTILLÖ World Championship is to swimrun — a true test of endurance, grit, and teamwork.

Join the club, and we’ll support your journey: whether it’s finding a partner, planning races to qualify, or preparing for the challenge ahead.
