An event that was born in the cold seas of the north in the mid-2000s is to have its debut in the Aegean this autumn. The first-ever SwimRun in Greece will be held from 16 to 18 November on the popular island of Hydra. The event is part of the TRIMORE Multisports TOUR and is co-organised by the municipality of Hydra and Sailing Club of Hydra, ANA reports.
Fifty couples will take part in the race’s maiden appearance in Greece, a total of 100 SwimRunners. The sport is very demanding and requires full cooperation on the part of the couple, who remain tied together with a rope throughout the race.
