The Amphibian Man Sprint Swimrun - July 24, 2027

Amfibiemannen Sprint Swimrun:

Amfibiemannen Sprint Swimrun—a swimrun race for everyone! Technical running for those seeking a challenge, short distances for beginners, and a family-friendly atmosphere.

Welcome to Amfibiemannen and one of Sweden’s most beautiful swimrun courses! 

The first Amfibiemannen, founded by Jan-Henrik Bäck, took place in 2011 and became a classic swimrun competition where many fond memories have been made. 

The course will cover just over 13 km of running and 2.5 km of swimming. The idea behind the course is for competitors to experience our unique outer archipelago north of Stockholm without disturbing nature or wildlife. We’ll make our way through uncharted terrain in forests, along narrow trails, on Arholma’s gravel roads, over islets and cliffs, through mountains, across bays, and out into the open sea.
Out onto the cliffs of the Sea of Åland, down into Arholma Fort, and past the iconic Arholma lighthouse.
The Amphibian Man Sprint is part of the SWIMRUN SPRINT CUP

The Amphibian Man Sprint is part of the MySwimrun Championships:

As organizers, it has become more difficult to plan races in recent years as more people choose to book late. We understand that you don’t want to commit too early, but we’d like to reward those who choose to book early—not only with lower registration fees but also by giving you a little extra bonus in the form of a cozy poncho. In addition, we offer a cancellation guarantee up to 30 days before the race; however, if you cancel under this guarantee, we’ll deduct the cost of the poncho.

We hope you appreciate this and thank you for booking early!
