Race rules, rankings & rescues,
we have the answers for you.
Yes, swimrunner, who still want to qualify for this year’s World Championship, can apply for a WILD CARD as in the past.
ÖTILLÖ is happy to assist all Swimrunners and let them know their Swimrun IDs (email: [email protected]). It is important that none of the athletes register for a new ID if they already have one. Athletes with two ID will be shown twice in the ranking.
Only athletes that used their Swimrun IDs to sign up for the races will be shown in the ranking. If someone does not have a Swimrun ID yet, they can sign up here. If the race organizer does not ask for the ID at registration, the athlete needs to send the ID to the race organizer and all points will be inserted and accumulated by ÖTILLÖ.
Besides the podiums of the World Championship in 2024, there will be no direct qualifications for ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship 2025.
At the beginning of 2025, every athlete in the ranking has the chance to apply with a team partner of their choice. We will add all accumulated points of both partners and create an ÖTILLÖ qualification list, which will be the basis for the invitation to participate at ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship 2025.
Earning points on an individual basis allows you to race with different partners throughout the year and always earn points towards your ÖTILLÖ qualification. Previously, people, who raced with different partners always started from scratch in the ranking with each new partner.
Swimrunners collect points from January to December by finishing in the Top 30 of each Team category (men/women/mixed)and solo (men/ women) at an ÖTILLÖ World Series or an ÖTILLÖ Merit Race team event. The winning Teams/ Solos will earn a maximum of 60 points (ÖTILLÖ World Series) and 30 points (ÖTILLÖ Merit Race) per athlete.
There will be a two-week-period from August 11th to August 25th, 2024, where teams are allowed to change their partner under the following conditions:
