Västerås Swimrun 2026

If you love alternating between water and land without ever breaking your rhythm, Västerås Swimrun is exactly your kind of playground. You’ll go head-to-head with a raw, elegant Sweden nature, where shorelines meet islets and every transition makes you feel like you’re switching scenery live 🏊‍♂️.

Two formats await you: a Sprint to discover the sport, go have fun, and leave with a smile—or the ÖTILLÖ Merit Race version if you’re after a tougher adventure and a résumé line that hits hard. Either way, you’ll quickly understand why people say swimrun is a sport that just “makes perfect sense” 😉.

And after the effort, just steps from the start to extend the trip: get some altitude at Djäkneberget for a walk with a view, enjoy the area around the Västerås Marina harbor, and make a detour to Västerås Domkyrka cathedral for a calm contrast after the intensity. If you want a touch of culture without going far, Vallby Friluftsmuseum is great for couples or families, with an open-air vibe.
