WILD Swimrun Community
We are a Swimrun Community open for all women, children and families regardless of age, experience or nationality. Both men and women are welcome in the community, but we work especially towards encouraging more women to try the sport. For that reason we do many women-only events and all female FB-group and WhatsApp Chats.
Our community is all about togetherness and kindness. Finding friends to share your weekly training and weekend excursions with. If not in person, at least online. In our Community you can ask any question and find new friends around the globe. We want to show that you can be part of this wonderful nature driven sport regardless of your ambition, fitness level or experience. To be able to achieve this we organise Camps, smaller events, exchange knowledge and inspiration via our social media channels and articles we either write ourselves or find interesting by others.
TEAM WILD SWIMRUN
If you want to compete as part of the WILD Community, you do so as Team WILD Swimrun. Feel free to replace “Swimrun” with something of your own liking. Examples of team-names already in use are: WILD Sjölejon and WILD atHeart. We support our teams at competitions and promote you all to join even if injured or maybe not competing. Team members are also great cheerleaders! WILD have some great discounts and collars with some race organizations, so contact us and check so you don´t miss out on good prices.
We love how sports unite, break down barriers and basically make us all happy!
To get in touch with us, send an email: hello@wildswimrun.com.
Can’t wait to hear from you and go on some Swimrun adventures together!
