Nordhaeuser Triathlon

The Nordhaeuser Triathlon is a small, outdoor triathlon in Nordhausen, Thuringia, Germany, featuring swimming, road cycling, and road running. It provides XS, S, and M distances, allowing beginners and developing athletes to compete without immediately undertaking a long-distance event. The course utilizes local lakes, ponds, and green areas. The competition begins with a swim, followed by a road cycling leg, and concludes with a run. Its motto, “Everyone their distance,” is reflected in the program: adults have multiple race formats, and children and juniors have dedicated courses and activities. The event is suitable for families and athletes seeking a more subdued, grounded sports day rather than a large, showy triathlon.
