Västerås Swimrun, live.

Back on Björnö for the 12th edition

Västerås Swimrun is a swimrun of running and open water swimming at Björnö in Västerås.

Västerås Swimrun is a swimrun held at Västerås, where the field moves between running on land and swimming in open water. The 2027 edition is the 12th, and the organiser describes it as a return to Björnö, where it all started. The race has been a merit race in recent editions, according to the organiser's own archive.

The course is a chain of legs where running and swimming take turns. The organiser's leg table for 2027 adds up to 14.4 km of running and 3.1 km of swimming, and the last leg is a run to the finish. Clips on the organiser's site show trail running in pleasant natural surroundings, so expect varied ground between the swims.

There is one distance, 17.5 km in total, raced on 30 May 2027. Participants can enter as a team or as a single, and the organiser publishes its price table and registration link on the website.

For people who come to watch, the organiser notes that the beach at Södra Björnö is usually a gathering place for spectators. Friends and family following from home can use Livebib, where a participant can choose to share their own live position from the phone they carry. This is not the organiser's timing, and official results come from the organiser after the race.
