SwimRunman

France’s biggest SwimRun circuit – SWIMRUNMAN FRANCE SERIES – returns to Vassivière on June 2, 2024!

The concept behind SWIMRUNMAN FRANCE by ZOGGS is to welcome you to exceptional locations and landscapes. Vassivière will stand out for its dense, atypicalcoursesbetween sky, land and water, and above all from island to island, as in the sport’s origins. Swimrun is an outdoor discipline in which humility,perseverance, cohesion and mutual support are essential values. SwimRun alternates running and swimming in open water. It’s usually done in pairs: swim, run, swim, run and repeat, without transition. This incredible adventure is open to all: with different formats – SPRINT, CLASSIC, and culminating in the HALF format, not forgetting the KIDS (Saturday) – it’s up to you to take up the challenge, with friends, as a couple, or as a family, and become real “Finishers”! Immerse yourself in this unique human and sporting experience, where you’ll become one with nature.
