WHAT IS IGNITE SWIMRUN?

Participants traverse through a pre-marked course in nature alternating between running and swimming. Swim legs may consist of long open ocean swims, rocky rivers or crystal-clear lakes while runs are on anything from roads, fire trails, technical rock scrambles or whatever nature puts in front of you. Athletes typically participate as a two-person team of men, women or mixed but individual options are also available.

​WHAT ARE THE RULES?

Athletes typically participate as a two-person team of men, women or mixed but individual options are also available. Teams must remain within 10-meters of each other, this is not a relay.

Rules permit swim aids such as hand paddles, pull buoys, even fins if you are so inclined but there are no transition areas and all gear must stay with you for the entire course so choose wisely. Some small safety gear is also required such as a water-proof compression bandage and whistle.
