Hi you WOC 2025 visitor! Would you like to try a little swimrun in between orienteering at WOC Tour? Kuopio offers a fabulous landscape for swimrun and now you can join one of the ~1 hour group trainings during the WOC week. You can either be a newcomer or more experienced swimrunner, the swimming ability demand is 200 meters continuous swimming. Please, also check if there are special features on the group you are entering. All the groups are bilingual (Finnish/English) and there's also one group there especially for non-Finnish speakers.
During the training session each participant will be provided by a swimrun pull buoy (and swim cap and goggles if needed.) As a swimrun suit you can use your swimsuit or a thin running suit. Orienteering shoes are perfect for swimrun. You should also bring a bottle of drink and some snacks to eat right after training.

When registering the activity you accept the following Terms&Conditions:
The activity takes place in the middle of nature, partly in an undeveloped environment. Participants must take into account the occasionally challenging natural conditions (such as slippery rocks, deadheads, roots, heat, cold, waves, etc.) with sufficient caution. The organizer is not responsible for any accidents that may occur to the participant during the activity. Children under 18 years may only participate in the activity if accompanied by a guardian. In this case, the guardian is responsible from the moment of registration for ensuring that both they and their ward understand and fulfill the participation requirements.
The start of the swimrun activity will take place at the parking area (no restrooms) of Spa Hotel Rauhalahti. We recommend you to arrive by bike or by bus (the bus line 7 will bring you right to the place). Please, arrive 5-10 minutes before the scheduled group time.
