Utö, Sweden
ÖTILLÖ Sprint Final 15k
Race Details
ÖTILLÖ has made two big changes to its Final 15K race. First, the course will go back to its origin: All participants will have to conquer the final 15km of ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship. This means that it will be a POINT-TO-POINT race with start on Ornö and finish on Utö. Second, the Final 15K will be the first INDIVIDUAL START race in ÖTILLÖ history, which implies that a team or solo racer will start every 15 seconds. The technical trail running, beautiful swim section, and stunning views remain the same. This is a challenging and intense course that will make you smile all the way to the end.

Note:
Before start we will randomly select teams and solo racers for a check of the mandatory equipment. If the athletes are missing any of the equipment required, they will not be allowed to start.
We will have energy (salty and sweet) and liquid stations along the course as marked in the course maps and in the Times & Distance documents.
We will serve…
+ products of our official partner Umara
Sports drink: U Sport in lemon flavor
Bars: U Bar, a gluten free energy bar in assorted flavors.
+ fruits and snacks at the energy stations.
+ water and if cold weather we will also provide warm liquid.
We will publish a detailed plan of the energy stations approx. 3 weeks before the event. Please check our interactive race map.
If you bring your own gels, than please carry it in your wetsuit. Do not throw the wrappers on the ground, leave it in the garbage cans at the energy stations.
We do not have paper cups at the energy stations, use your collapsible cup or soft flask to drink from.
In the end of August we usually find late Swedish summer weather. But, it can be the start of autumn. Make sure you bring clothes to stay warm. It can be anything between 5 – 20 degrees C.
Water temperatures will be between 16- 18 degrees C depending on where along the course. Make sure you dress with a good wool layer underneath your wetsuit and use a Neoprene cap if you are not used to cold water.
Like everywhere we can have wind, rain and un-seasonably cold. Make sure you bring clothes to handle this.
Salt water. The water in the Baltic has very low salinity. Some athletes will even race without swim goggles.
We welcome all spectators, friends and families to participate in our events.
The course is very easy to follow by bicycle and these are available for rent in the harbour. Make sure to ride safely as you are on open roads, even though they have little traffic.
There is a restaurant right next to the event area.
During each race we make a media production for social media and traditional media. You will see photographers, reporters and film teams. If you have any personal media contacts that would like to have material from us please email to [email protected]
