Long Course
Participants will cover almost 8 miles of running and 2 miles of swimming split between 6 swimming sections. 1150 vertical feet of climbing.
TEAM OR SOLO
Swimrun Teams
Swimrun was founded on the principle of teamwork. The Otillo World Championships and qualifiers, are raced only as teams of 2. Each team travels together, staying within 10 m of each other throughout the entire event. Many teams will use a tow system, although it is not required.
Sprint Course
Participants will cover over 3.5 miles of running and 0.6 miles of swimming split between 3 swimming sections. 454 vertical feet of climbing.
TEAM OR SOLO
Swimrun Solo
Bellingham Swimrun allows solo racers. We understand that it can be challenging to find a teammate, and even if you have teammate, injuries happen. In order to race solo, you will be required to have a swim buoy or a rest tube with you throughout the race. This provides an added margin of safety and also alerts our safety folk that you didn't ditch your partner some where out on the course.
