SwimRun NC 2024
Join us for the SwimRun NC 2024 / 2025 and make sure to bring your A game and an amazing attitude. We only accept teams of 2 for our race as participating in a team of 2 is actually more than twice the fun. But be sure to be ready for challenging trails, brisk swims and a very memorable experience. SwimRun is a unique and fast growing sport that is driven by passionate folks who enjoy being challenged by nature and being close to it. Most of these SwimRun events take place in Northern Europe where there are now around 100 such races, and all of them have their own distinctive flavor, with race distances also varying greatly from event to event. The land and water dictates the race distance and the segments, it does not go the other way around. It all began in Sweden in 2002 with a bet and has been now in the USA since 2016. At this time there is an entry fee of $490 due. For inspiration please check out these great images [https://www.flickr.com/photos/12185410@N02/with/38027387906/] from our 2017 event.

Organiser's description
But those folks who had conflicts in mid October or were generally unaware of that race date, you can now join us on April 6 and the registration is back open.
We would love for you to experience the magic and challenge of 16 miles of running and 2 miles of swimming broken up into 10 technical trail runs and 9 swims at Hanging Rock State Park in NC - in teams of two. SwimRun NC offers stunning scenery, challenging waterfalls and a good amount of elevation gain and loss, great swag, beer at the finish, unique awards and much more. The course with all the fall colors is very beautiful but it is extremely difficult terrain and could possibly take place in very challenging conditions. This is not an individual event and teams of two can be either male/male, male/female or female/female and wetsuits in this race are mandatory. Fantastic images previous events can be found here https://www.flickr.com/photos/swimrunnc and there https://www.facebook.com/SwimRunNC, and also here https://www.flickr.com/photos/12185410@N02/sets/72157701420952481/with/45566733872 and there https://www.slowtwitch.com/News/The_2018_SwimRun_NC_in_stunning_images_7067.html to give you a better impression what to expect. We think great race photography is super important, and we always provide our starting athletes with amazing pictures.
