2026

A carefully constructed lineup with elite experience and proven results, this team brings together world-class swimrun performance, navigation expertise, and first-hand race knowledge from the support boat. With an ÖTILLÖ World Championship–winning duo, an experienced navigator, and a supporter who already knows what it takes to reach the lighthouse, their foundation is built on both skill and insight.

Having trained and raced together in different constellations, they combine familiarity, trust, and a shared commitment to preparation.

What started as a team of strangers quickly turned into something far stronger. Entering last year’s race from completely different backgrounds and without previous experience racing together, they left as a unified team, close friends, and a tightly bonded unit forged through adversity.

Returning after a strong performance and a fifth-place finish, the team now comes back with a deeper understanding of both the race and each other. Built on trust, seamless teamwork, and strong navigation, they proved their ability to push deep into the race before a medical setback forced them to stop — despite knowing they still had more to give.

Driven by the desire to discover their true potential as a team, they focus less on chasing others and more on executing their own race. 

Experience, revenge, and fresh energy come together in this carefully built lineup. One Water Race veteran Marcus Hultgren returns after experiencing both setbacks and success in previous editions. He now joins forces with world-class orienteer and 2025 competitor Marcus Brandt, alongside former professional triathlete Jenny Nae. From the boat, Cristian Nae will play a crucial role, managing strategy, equipment, and energy balance throughout the race.

Blending elite navigation, Ironman-level endurance, and strong internal trust, this team brings together different racing backgrounds with one shared ambition, to keep evolving together.

This team doesn’t just return — they raise the standard. With a deep adventure racing and ultra-endurance background, they’ve reached the Landsort Lighthouse four years in a row — a level of consistency few can match.

But experience alone won’t win this race.

Balancing speed, navigation, and tactical precision, they combine elite navigation, all-round physical strength, swimming power, and sharp organisational skills into one well-oiled machine. United by trust, teamwork, and a relentless drive to improve, their ambition is clear: Arrive stronger. Smarter. Faster than ever before.
