Swim&Run Charity Event in Winnweiler

For the 5^th time, the Union Community of Winnweiler hosts the Swim&Run charity event, with the friendly assistance of the two clubs “Turnverein Winnweiler 1876 e.V.” and “Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft e.V. (DLRG)”. Swim&Run is a competition format composed of swimming and running stages with continuous timekeeping. The aquathlon is open to everyone.

Two options will be offered:
- Long distance: 500 m swimming and 5 km running, starting 10 a.m.
- Short distance: 100 m swimming and 1 km running, starting 2 p.m.

Participants of long distance start from 10 a.m. and have to swim 500 meters. Swimmers start one after another, at minute intervals, in the 50-meter pool, switching lanes every 100 meters. Afterwards, they put on their running shoes in the transition zone and possibly change their sportswear. Then, they continue with the 5 km run. Participants of short distance start from 2 p.m. and have to swim 100 meters. Afterwards, they run 1 kilometer. For both distances the competition starts and ends at the Winnweiler outdoor swimming pool.

Team start is possible, too! The procedure is basically the same as the individual start. Here the swimmer hands over the baton to the runner by high-fiving.
The team start for the short distance is intended for the younger participants to start together with their mom, dad, aunt, uncle, or friend.

The entry fee will be completely donated to a charity organization. Entry fees:
€ 15 for adult teams
€ 10 for children teams up to 15 years
€ 5 for children up to 15 years (individual start)
€ 10 for adults (individual start)

Spectators are very welcome! For all guests the use of the swimming pool after the event is unrestricted until 7 p.m.
