The 2010 Ö TILL Ö site is released!

On Monday, the 6th of September the fifth edition of Ö TILL Ö will be held in the Stockholm Archipelago.

Ö TILL Ö is one of the toughest one- day races in the world and it is becoming very popular with world- class endurance athletes around the world.

54 kilometres of running on 19 islands and 10 km of open- water swimming between the islands. From dawn to dusk. Join us for a fantastic race!

Ö TILL Ö is an epic race with growing demand in Sweden and internationally. In 2009 the 60 spots available where taken within three weeks of opening the application process. Teams from seven nations fought for the honourable title of Winner. Red Bull Ironman – Jonas Colting & Martin Flinta – from Sweden won in record braking time and made it to the top of the podium for the second year in a row. The question is – Will they succeed a third time?

The race organisation has opened the race to the final number of 100 teams.

The race starts on Monday, 6th of September in front of Seglarhotellet in Sandhamn and finishes in front of Utö Värdshus on Utö. The course is very similar to the 2009 course with one change – No bikes on Ornö. The longest swim is 1650 metres.

The race day has been changed to a Monday as the organisation constantly strives to make the race as safe as possible. Very few, if any private boats will be crossing the course, all racers will wear a GPS transponder and all along the course safety boats will protect the swimmers. Swimmer safety is coordinated by Sjöassistans.

Samsung B2100 will be the title sponsor again. Eniro, addnature.com, Utö Värdshus and Seglarhotellet are supporting partners.
