Great North SwimRun

Great North SwimRun is an opportunity to ditch the roads and the pool and embrace an off-road, open-water island-hopping adventure! Doing a SwimRun is a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in the great outdoors and experience a variety of terrain. Our SwimRun will guide you through the spectacular scenery of Windermere in the Lake District, each one more breathtaking than the last.

 

A STUNNING LOCATION

The location at Brockhole on Windermere, in the heart of the Lake District is stunning. The land of Wordsworth and Wainwright, you’ll find gorgeous scenery, incredible wildlife and a rich cultural heritage. Brockhole comes alive on Great North Swim weekend, with fun for the whole family including outdoor activities and adventure play, local food and drink stalls, shopping and a warm welcome for four-legged friends.
