Sparkassentriathlon Versmold 2026

Sparkassentriathlon Versmold starts at the Naturbad in Versmold, where athletes swim in the outdoor natural pool before switching to the bike and then the run. The main race described in the sources is an Olympic short-distance triathlon: 1,000 meters of swimming, 37 kilometers of cycling, and 10 kilometers of running. It sits early in the triathlon season, and one reported race went ahead in cold conditions without losing its competitive edge. This is a league race as much as a local triathlon. The format includes starts for the Verbandsliga Nord and Landesliga Nord, with teams chasing the day result, season points, and promotion places. That makes the racing practical and sharp: clean transitions, steady legs, and each finishing position matter. Richard Westover of Tri-Sport Lübeck won one edition in 1:50:45 after making the difference on the bike and run, while teams such as Tricity 2001 and TuS Erkenschwick 09 appear in the sources as the standard others try to match.
