A Swimrun course for beginners and anyone who wants to try Swimrun

This course is designed for anyone who wants to try Swimrun for the first time or bring a friend to experience the sport together. EX FIVE 5K is the perfect beginner-friendly Swimrun race, featuring shorter swim sections, easy trail running, and safe, accessible transitions between swimming and running.

​

The swim course follows the shoreline of Edsviken, making it easy to shorten the swim if needed. The running sections are on a mix of gravel paths and easy trails, so you can comfortably complete the race in your regular running shoes—no trail shoes required.

​

Section 1 – Run to Segeludden

The race begins with an approximately 2 km run from Arena Edsvik to Segeludden. This opening run spreads the field before the first swim, creating a safer and more comfortable start for everyone. It also gives participants time to warm up and get ready for the first swim.

​

Section 2 – Swimrun along beautiful Edsviken

From Segeludden, the course heads back toward Arena Edsvik with several short swim sections connected by runs between piers, beaches, and other easy transition areas. At Edsbergs Steam Boat Pier, participants enjoy a fun jump into the water before the final swim around Landsnora Bath Rock. The race finishes with one last run back to the finish line at Arena Edsvik.

​

EX FIVE 5K is one of the most beginner-friendly Swimrun races in Stockholm, making it the perfect choice for first-timers, friends racing together, and anyone looking to discover the excitement of Swimrun in a safe, welcoming, and scenic environment.
