amfibiemannen July 24 2021

On July 24, 2021, the new Amfibiemannen is back in Roslagen with a new exciting track located in the outermost of the Stockholm archipelago. The location is where the first ferry line to Åland was established and where the Russians  landen 300 years ago.

Start and finish are at Arholma which also becomes the central point for the amphibian man.

YES – ON JULY 24 2021 THE AMFIBIEMANNEN IS BACK!

The first Amfibiemannen, a swimrun race founded by Jan-Henrik Bäck, was launched in 2012 and became a classic swimrun race where many good memories have been created. We are many who feel the positive vibes when talking about the amphibian man. Join us in the second year of the new Amphibian man!

We offer an exclusive Swimrun Festival with focus on safety and a unique experience in the Stockholm archipelag with an environmentally sustainable approach. We therefore choose to maximize the number of teams to 150 to ensure a top-class event.

The new course has start and finish at Arholma Pier, close to the Dansbana and the Lanthandel. The coures is the same as 2019 whit some small improvments.

The course will cover just over 21 km of running and 5 km of swimming. The idea of ​​the course is that the swimrunners will share our unique archipelago north of Stockholm without interfering with nature and wildlife. We race through unobstructed terrain in forests, along small paths, on the gravel roads of Arholma, across cuttings and rocks, under mountains, across the fjords and over the open sea.
