SWIMRUN Discovery-Sierra de Cadiz is the ultimate adventure for sports fanatics and nature lovers in the south of Spain. We offer you a completely different experience that tests your speed and endurance and your ability to work strategically in a team.
Choose your partner, choose your distance and dive into the Sierra de Cadiz. Swim and run your way through a wild and intense event! Give the best of yourself just to finish.
Live out a great adventure in the magical surroundings of the Zahara de la Sierra-El Gastor Reservoir. At the very heart of the Parque Natural of the Sierra de Grazalema, you will traverse the municipalities of Algodonales, El Gastor and Zahara, the foothills of the Puerto de las Palomas and bypass the celebrated canyon of la Garganta Verde and the unique Pinsapar Forest.
SWIMRUN will not only test you physically but challenge your sense of direction and strategy and, above all, your ability to work in a team. Together with your partner you will have to complete all swimming legs and run sections on tarmac, off-road tracks and paths and village streets until the finish line at the DIscovery Nautical Centre.
The preeminent watchtower of the Sierra de Grazalema, the legendary tower of Zahara de la Sierra, will oversee your every stride and stroke as you strive to complete the event. No finish or glory for you if you fail to reach the top of the Tower of Homage that crowns this medieval town! As you head down towards the reservoir the spectacular views will be engraved in your memory.
The first SWIMRUN Discovery-Sierra de Cadiz will be held on 10 September 2017 over 2 distances.
