Waldecker Edersee-Triathlon 2026

The Waldecker Edersee-Triathlon takes place in late June in Waldeck, Germany, located in the Hesse region near Kassel. Organized by TSV Eintracht Waldeck 1912, it features sprint and short-distance competitions, available for individual participants and as a sprint relay for teams. The fields are not large, with stated limits of approximately 200 for sprint individuals, 250 for short-distance individuals, and 20 for relay teams. The sprint course involves a 500 m swim, a 20 km bike ride, and a 5 km run. The short distance increases these to a 1.5 km swim, a 42 km bike ride, and a 10 km run. The event welcomes Jedermann participants, referring to amateur racers, alongside age-group competitors. The race's local character comes from its setting: athletes compete within and around Waldeck, with the Edersee lake providing a scenic backdrop, combining urban and natural environments.
