Ötillö SwimRun World Championship 2026

Want a race that smells of sea spray, granite, and adventure, between land and sea? The Ötillö SwimRun World Championship in Sandhamn is the kind of postcard that makes you sweat just the right amount 🌊.

Here, in Stockholm County (on the Värmdö Kommun side), you’re playing life-size island-hopping: you alternate between stretches over the rocks, coastal trails, and crossings in crystal-clear water that wakes you up better than a strong espresso 🧭.

After the race, stick around—it’s worth it: take a stroll around Sandhamn harbor for the boats-and-colorful-houses vibe, head out to Trouville for a barefoot walk, and go fill your lungs on Telegrafberget for the viewpoint. You can also enjoy the area near Sandhamns Kapell and finish with a sunset on the rocks—a romantic recovery version for two or with the family 🌅.
