About This Event
Ångaloppet presents a unique multi-sport festival combining trail running and swimrun disciplines in Sweden's picturesque Sörmland archipelago. Based at Ånga Gård, just outside Nyköping, this event offers five distinct competitions that showcase the natural beauty of Lake Ången and the Baltic Sea coast. The event's signature swimrun races require teams of two to navigate through varied terrain including forest paths, gravel roads, and open water crossings. Runners tackle technical trail sections through unmarked forest terrain and rolling countryside before plunging into lake and sea swims of varying lengths. The courses wind through islands and rocky outcrops, creating a distinctive Nordic adventure that tests both endurance and navigation skills. What sets Ångaloppet apart is its range of options, from challenging 22-kilometer swimrun courses to family-friendly introductory distances. The event also features a dedicated trail running option for those preferring to stay on dry land. All competitions start and finish at the scenic Ånga Gård, providing a central hub for this celebration of Swedish outdoor culture.
