Route information
All courses for the Grafham Water Swimrun will be 1 lap routes, the 21k being a full lap of the entire reservoir so participants can explore every inch of the stunning body of water.
This event boasts easy entry and exits into the water and amazing trail running through the woods and tracks around the reservoir. The courses head out along the north shore, with swims across the natural bays, runs through woods and around the reed banks. The shorter courses then weave their way back along the north shore to the finish as the 21k heads off through the nature reserve and around the reservoir.
