Swimrun on a Car-Free Island
Hydra bans motor vehicles entirely — donkeys and boats are the only transport, which makes for a genuinely unusual swimrun backdrop: valleys, mountain paths, port streets and open Aegean crossings, all without a single engine sound.
Format
Three distances (12.8km, 23.4km, 38.7km) built around alternating open-water swims and technical trail running, part of a three-day island weekend rather than a single race morning.
Daily Chore Take
If ÖTILLÖ's Stockholm archipelago is on your list but hard to get into, Hydra offers a genuinely different Mediterranean take on the same format — warmer water, and a proper Greek island trip built in.
