The Swedish sport of swimrun is one that many people may not be familiar with. Originating in 2006 from a drunken bet, the sport morphed into an event called the OTILLO, or “island to island.” In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies

On this week’s “World of Adventure,” we follow the Casco Bay SwimRun, an event modeled after the original OTILLO. The Casco Bay SwimRun is a two-person race through the Maine archipelago that prides itself on being the only OTILLO qualifier in North America.
