A SwimRun is a multiple-stage competition which involves a pair of athletes running and swimming tied together with a rope, over a cross-country race course or loop-course.
In SwimRun Hydra 2019 we will have two distances:
Initiation to SwimRun 9,4 (Swim 0,6k | Run 4k | Swim 0,9k | Run 3,9k)
Core Distance SwimRun 23,6 (Swim 1,5k | Run 5,5k | Swim 1,7k | Run 7,8k | Swim 2,6k | Run 4,5k).
Athletes may use special swimming equipment like paddles or pull buoys and wear shoes during running. Floating aids are not allowed that are not provided by the organizer). Each piece of equipment has to be carried throughout the race.
The team of 2 must complete the race tied together with the rope which the organizer will provide. Mandatory equipment are: wetsuit, swimming cap, vest shirt with bib number. Shoes & wetsuits can be taken off during swimming or running, but have to be carried until the end of the race (the orgianizer provides with a buoy for safety & transfer of belongings for each athlete).
