People of all ages, backgrounds and competitive habits gathered on Saturday morning to swim and run throughout Jönköping.
The competition had its starting point in the middle of the city, more specifically at the Atoll. After that, the route goes all the way from the city to Huskvarna, alternating between running on land and swimming through the city’s three city lakes.
– On the long course we have a total of 18 swims, eleven of which are in Lake Vättern, says competition leader Fredrik Ljunggren.
Swimrun = Teamwork
If you compete in the longer category, it is a requirement to run in teams. Despite the fact that the same requirements do not exist on the shorter distance, it is a majority who choose to run together anyway.
– Among the funnest things about Swinrun is that you do it together, teamwork, says Fanny Ahlfors, who today does 15 kilometers together with Patrik Widell under the name Team Lost. The team finished second today, congratulations!
