Nordic Cup - Hallsta Triathlon (Sverige)

Hallsta Triathlon is the Swedish stop in the Nordic Cup, a sprint-distance triathlon series built around races for Nordic athletes. The race uses the standard sprint format: a 750 m swim, 20 km bike, and 5 km run, adding up to 25.75 km of racing. It sits in the May part of the calendar, when typical conditions are mild but changeable, with temperatures around 10-20°C and enough rain risk to make a jacket sensible before and after racing. The wider Nordic Cup has four competitions across Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and Denmark, with the Nordic triathlon federations working together on the series. The Hallsta event lists separate entry routes for elite and junior athletes, plus youth racing, so it is not just one start line for one category. The available course information is simple rather than detailed: swim first, then bike, then run, over sprint distances that suit fast racing and younger or developing triathletes as well as experienced competitors.
