Stockholm Swimrun

Stockholm SwimRun was founded by Fredrik Erixon 2014, the same year he hade done the Ötillö SwimRun race and was attending a meeting with the management team of The Royal Djurgården. Fredrik talked about SwimRun and also about the race he just finished. Fredrik explained that SwimRun is a perfect thing to do if you like nature, training and competing together with some one and that this was a Swedish invention. The management team then asked Fredrik if he could start a SwimRun at his trailRunning event on Djurgården, the Hindertimmen Race, Fredrik said no, becuorse this is a 5k trail run. - It is to short to do a Swimrun of, he explained. Then they went out of the room, and came back with a map of the Djurgården. - This is The whole Royal Djurgården, we want you to seek out if there is some where that you can start a SwimRun here. So Fredrik took the map, and started thinking, he run all the trails and paths of Djurgården that fall and freezing out he tried the different waters in oktober, then he started thinking of a future race course… The rest is now history!
