Official event pageWhat this race demands
Swedeman Xtreme Triathlon requires sustained multi-sport endurance over a 251.8 km distance with 4077 meters of elevation gain.
Cold Water Swim
The race opens with a cold lake swim, demanding early thermal regulation and pacing before a very long day.
Mountain Bike Climbing
Athletes face a challenging 205 km mountain bike ride that requires tremendous lower-body durability and sustained power output over significant vertical gain.
Rugged Trail Marathon
The final stage is a rugged trail marathon ascending Åreskutan, demanding eccentric leg strength and fatigue resistance in steep mountain terrain.
Given a duration well exceeding ten hours, athletes must ingest 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain output across the swim, 205 km bike, and marathon.
