The Finale Ligure district is one that will energies and inspire and the region is best known for its majestic coastline, cliffs and caves, which make for the perfect setting for adventure.
The sport normally involves teams of two, however with our EPICBLUE SHORT EXPERIENCE you have the option to register as a solo participant as well.
At Epic Blue SwimRun we are running for a cause.
OVER FISHING, CLIMATE CHANGE, POLLUTION, AND THE LACK OF EDUCATION HAVE PUSHED OUR OCEANS TO THE BRINK OF COLLAPSE.
We are deeply invested in bringing people who love the ocean together around ocean conservation at our events:
using their energy in their sport, for good. We call this Swimmers for the Sea and invite some of the top athletes to
apply to support this initiative and lead the way.
Make waves with us as we show our joint commitment to the environment and RACE FOR A CAUSE.
It is not just a race!
