Elm-Lappwald Triathlon 2026

The Elm-Lappwald Triathlon is a sprint-distance event in Helmstedt, Lower Saxony, Germany, organized by TSV Germania Helmstedt. It follows a short-format course: 600 meters swimming, 21 kilometers cycling, and a 5-kilometer run. The event offers individual competition for amateur and age-group athletes, a relay option, and distinct sprint races for the Landesliga and Verbandsliga participants. This is a local triathlon, not a large festival event, with anticipated participation of around 150 in the open individual sprint, 30 relay teams, and 180 athletes in each league race. The location is noted as natural, aligning with Helmstedt’s proximity to the Elm-Lappwald area. The day focuses on direct competition within a greener region of Lower Saxony. The relay category allows teams to divide the swim, bike, and run segments instead of completing the entire sprint individually.
