What Moves Us.

Season 1

In summer 2026, Florian Teatiu became the first person on record to cross Sweden by swimming, cycling and running. 1,448 km in 40 days, alone. Arctic to Baltic starts from here.

Never done before.

Arctic to Baltic is next.

A 2,400 km relay across Sweden in June 2027, and free public challenges in Gothenburg all year.

“Tomorrow” is the best excuse ever invented. “Today” is more fun.
