YK Swim Run 2024

Welcome to the first ever official YK SwimRun event!

For those that may not know a lot about swimrun, it’s a relatively new adventure type race that got its start in 2002 and is similar, and yet very different from traditional triathlon, duathlon or aquathlons. With those types of sports, there are direct transitions where you go from one event, transition to the next, transition to the third and then finish. Often, you’ll have the same transition point to return to, so you’re sort of doing and out and back routine while changing up the sport (swim-bike-run or run-bike-run or run-swim-run)

With swimrun, it’s a point A to point B adventure, with many transitions from swimming to running or running to swimming in between. Also, instead of transitioning from one event to another and changing out your entire kit, with swimrun, you run and swim with everything you need.
