EX SAFARI RACE 16/8 - SIGN UP BY JULY 16TH
We have been granted permission to host this unique race in the Nämdöskärgårdens Marine National Park for the second year in a row. It's the perfect training session and final preparation for those taking on ÖTILLÖ, but also an incredible adventure for anyone looking for a truly unique Swimrun experience.The race is a GPX race, which means you will receive the four checkpoints in advance. You can then plan your own route in Strava, Garmin Connect, or another mapping tool and import it to your watch or phone. When you start at the southern end of the Marine National Park, your route is ready to follow. From there, it's up to you to navigate through the entire park and reach the finish at Bullerö Nature Reserve, where food, a sauna, and a cold beer awaits.
To make this event happen, we need a minimum of 10 teams. So don't wait too long—sign up today so we can host the race and treat you to this one-of-a-kind adventure. If you need help finding a partner, let us know and we'll do our best to match you with one.
