43.Riesenbecker-Polyvlies-Triathlon 2026

The Riesenbecker-Polyvlies-Triathlon takes place in late August in Riesenbeck, organized by SV Teuto Riesenbeck. It is designed for all participants and age-group athletes, not exclusively specialists, offering individual races in short, sprint, youth, and shorter open categories. The main short-distance event includes a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride, and 10 km run. The sprint race reduces these distances to 0.6 km, 20 km, and 5 km. Additionally, there is a sprint relay for teams, Youth A and Youth B races for 16/17 and 14/15-year-olds respectively, and a shorter “Other” category featuring a 0.2 km swim, 6.7 km bike ride, and 2.1 km run. The individual sprint race typically draws the largest fields, with smaller participation in the relay and youth events. The 43rd edition indicates a race with a significant local tradition.
