Swimrun NC

Experience the magic and challenge of 17 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 also offers stunning scenery, challenging waterfalls and a good amount of elevation gain and this very vertical SwimRun event is an ÖTILLÖ merit race. SwimRun NC is an event for very experienced and fit endurance athletes and should not be taken lightly. We in fact screen teams before we allow them into the race, and we expect to see detailed race results from the past 24 months. This 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 from the 2019 event can be found here and there, plus we have lots of 2018 images here and there 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.

Because of COVID19 we cancelled the 2020 race and had to move our 2021 race to early November, but our 2022 race date is on Sunday, October 16th.
