Join Bali Hope Swimrun
Experience the unmatched adventure of the Bali Hope Swimrun, Southeast Asia’s premier swim-run event. Since 2018, Bali Hope has captivated participants from around the world, inviting them on an extraordinary four-day journey that blends exhilarating challenges with meaningful impact.
This event is a unique mix of retreat, fundraiser, and adventure race. Throughout your stay, you'll contribute to significant grassroots projects on the mesmerizing island of Nusa Lembongan, immerse yourself in Balinese culture through a race-blessing ceremony, and explore the local surroundings.
Each day brings rising anticipation for the climax—race day. Picture yourself at the starting line, with a former world champion or Olympian on one side and a first-time participant on the other. When the whistle blows, you embark on a dynamic journey through Lembongan’s charming streets, glide through mangroves, and skillfully traverse the island before tackling the channel to Nusa Ceningan.
The race seamlessly unfolds, inviting participants to traverse both islands by foot and water, cheered on by spirited locals at every turn. Bali Hope welcomes newcomers to endurance sports while fostering meaningful connections and transformative experiences.
Join us for four extraordinary days in a stunning location, promising profound connections and a lasting positive impact.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cancellation/refund policy for this event?
Bali Hope does not issue refunds.
Why is the Bali Hope Swimrun a multi-day event?
Bali Hope events are focussed on bringing extraordinary people together from around the world. The multi-day format allows us time and space to connect as a group, visit the community we are supporting and celebrate our achievement. Some of our team members will travel to Bali from Europe or North America and it is important for them to have time to acclimatise.
Can I bring a partner and/or children?
Of course. Partners and children are very welcome and we can organise bespoke accommodation options as required.
Can I join the swimrun but not the rest of the week?
Unfortunately not. The integrity of our swimrun team, our shared experience and our itinerary means this is not possible.
What level of support do you provide?
Participant safety on this ocean & road race is our key priority. With this in mind we have a highly-experienced health and safety director, emergency medical back-up, and trained first aiders in both fixed and mobile-aid stations.
What insurance do I need?
Participants will need travel and medical insurance covering endurance sports.
What is your advice on fundraising?
Critical factors on successful fundraising include starting early to raise awareness of what you are doing, the impact it will make and the training commitment required, and then follow this up with personal messages to friends, family and your broader network. We believe our individual and collective target is very achievable and together we can make a real impact in helping to educate a new generation on this island and help the community to develop a recycling infrastructure that will protect their island. Our charity partner also provides each team with personal support on their fundraising campaign. In short 20 friends donating US$50 hits the target.
