Kristen Smith

– Race experience

Been the support crew 3 times and media runner one year. I love being there and being the person to support.

– Why do you want to participate in One Water Race?

To finish. Of course, enjoy the experience again, but really I want to finish.

– Have you taken a similar challenge before?

One Water 2022, 2023, 2025, and was a runner in 2024.

– What are your strengths?

The love for the sport and the passion for adventure. Very determined and hard working. Very knowledgeable and have many years of experience with swimming, running, and adventure. The ability to adapt to the challenge as it evolves. I know how to deal with Jarrod’s finicky food needs and I am great at jumping out and boiling water on islands.

– What are your weaknesses?

I can be stubborn.

– What would be your biggest challenges in this race?

To make it through night 2. To keep the team moving at a respectable pace to finish.

– Have you been to the Stockholm archipelago and what do you know/think about the terrain?

I’ve been coming to the Stockholm archipelago for 8 years. I know all about the terrain, a piece of my soul is in the islands, and another piece in the water.

– What are you most looking forward to, if you would participate in One Water Race?

To be back and have another chance at it… However, I truly enjoy the people, the event, the location, and the cause. I’ve learned a lot these past years and I loved being a part of our team last year. We want to spend more time together.
