I love Swimrun events. The simple concept comprises of alternating sections of tough trail running and swimming.

The best part being that you get to race it with your best mate which means that can you support each other through the often tricky race conditions. In this event the total distance is 45.2km, consisting of 38.7km of trail running around the Lake District and 6.5km of lake swims with 18 transitions.

Swimrun is not just a race, it’s a massive adventure and this course is beautiful! Can’t thank Anne Marie enough for her being my “partner in crime”! Anne Marie you are my rock!
