18.Stadtwerke-Ratingen-Triathlon 2026

The Stadtwerke-Ratingen-Triathlon in Ratingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, takes place in September, offering races from children’s swim-run formats to a middle distance. Individual race options include sprint, short, and middle distances. The sprint covers a 0.4 km swim, 20 km bike, and 5 km run. The short distance involves a 0.8 km swim, 40 km bike, and 10 km run. The middle distance consists of a 1.2 km swim, 60 km bike, and 15 km run. Leichtertriathlon organizes the event, with the sprint distance expecting approximately 560 starters, making it the largest field listed. The event's program caters to various ages and formats, not focusing on a single main race. Teenagers compete in Youth A and Youth B distances. Children from Schüler A down to Schüler D have shorter courses. The youngest participants swim 50 metres and run 200 or 400 metres, without a bike segment. Relay teams can participate in sprint, supersprint, or short-distance races. This setup accommodates solo age-group athletes, novice relay teams, and families with junior competitors racing on the same day.
