TEAM 1 – SWEDEN (2023)

About the team

A team with long experience in endurance racing, with the Stockholm archipelago as their backyard. Pär, Annika and Joakim have a great track record in triathlon and swimrun and have done large sections of the course before. With Henrik’s navigation and multisport skills, they are a complete team to take on the adventure of one of the world’s toughest races.

They have all spent countless hours training and racing across and between the islands of the archipelago. To them, the One Water Race is the ultimate challenge both as an adventure and as a race.

“We also share the urgency to raise the awareness of the risk to our waters. Today we already have plenty of water refugees and it will just increase with the ongoing climate change. The One Water Race is a great way to inspire people to accomplish things that at first may seem impossible”.
