"Whatever distance you choose to swim, make sure you pause to take in the views. The Langdale Pikes rising in the distance, big skies overhead, the waters of England's largest lake rippling around you... enjoy your moment of swimming in one of the world's most beautiful landscapes." 

Jonathan Cowie, Outdoor Swimmer contributing editor

The Great North SwimRun is back!

The idea behind the SwimRun is to take part as a pair and tackle the challenge together. In your teams of two, you'll enjoy the best of both the open water and the trails around the Lake District.

Depending on your level, or appetite for a challenge, you can choose from the Short, Middle or Endurance routes - all taking place on Saturday 8 June 2024. Now is the time to partner up and sign up!
