FOR THE AMPHIBIOUS

This is why we swimrun

It’s not just about swimming and running, it’s about moving through nature with purpose. Swimrun invites you to reconnect with the wild, share the adventure, and surprise yourself along the way.

You’ll run trails, swim coastlines, and explore places most people never reach. Salty smiles, trail grit, and that post-event buzz; it’s all part of the magic.

Some come to test themselves, others to take it all in, but everyone leaves with more than they came for.

Freeing, fun, and just the right amount of wild.

Join the
movement

Swimrun isn’t just a sport, it’s a movement.

It’s about doing something different, something outdoorsy, something that makes you feel alive. It’s inclusive, low-fuss, and big on reward. You don’t need to be elite, just up for something social, scenic, and a bit wild.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to try something new, this is it.

Move through nature

Off the road, Into the wild

Swimrun takes you on a journey through wild, beautiful places, on foot and through water. You’re not stuck in a loop or fenced-off course. You’re immersed in the landscape, moving from trail to ocean, headland to bay, in a way that feels right.

Share the journey

Connection comes naturally

Whether you team up or go solo, swimrun is all about camaraderie and community. You’ll be cheered on by fellow swimrunners, share laughs between sections, and cross the finish with a story to tell.

Keep it simple

Less stuff, more soul

Swimrun is refreshingly low-fuss, you start with everything you need and carry it from start to finish. There’s no transition area, no time lost swapping gear, and no overthinking. You just keep moving, flowing from run to swim and back again.

Easy to begin

Start small, go wild

Swimrun is way more accessible than it looks. Our events feature short courses with manageable sections and friendly support, making it the perfect intro to adventure sports, even if you’re new to swimming or running.

The experience is the reward

At Swimrun Australia,
we keep it simple - on purpose.

You’ll take home salt in your hair, smiles in your photos, and a deep sense of “I did that!” It’s about the challenge you embraced, the people you shared it with, and the wild, beautiful places you moved through along the way.

That’s the Swimrun Australia difference.
