Raiffeisentriathlon 2026

The Hamm race takes place in the birthplace of Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen, providing the Raiffeisentriathlon its local connection. The series began in Neuwied and later included Hamm (Sieg), a short sprint-distance triathlon in Rheinland-Pfalz for amateur and age-group competitors. The Hamm event features a 300 m swim, an 18 km bike segment, and a 6.5 km run, with approximately 100 participants anticipated. The bike course presents the most challenge: the organizer outlines three circuits on a 5 km loop, including elevation gain on each circuit. The quickest athletes complete the three circuits in less than 28 minutes. All bicycle types are permitted, including road bikes, mountain bikes, or e-bikes. Participants are recommended to travel clockwise to bypass left turns. The series' guiding principle is derived from Raiffeisen: "What one alone cannot achieve, many can."
