Wanderup Triathlon 2026

The Wanderup Triathlon takes place in Wanderup, Schleswig-Holstein, set against a backdrop of nature, lakes, and ponds. Scheduled for August, it emphasizes short-distance competition: the sprint involves a 500 m swim, a 20 km bike ride, and a 4.5 km run. Triple Sportevents is the organizer, and the participant numbers are modest, with approximately 100 individuals anticipated across the main sprint, relay, and other divisions. The event caters to both everyday athletes and club racers, including beginners, age-groupers, relay teams, and juniors. The program features individual races, sprint relays, supersprint relays, and school classes, such as Schüler B. One unique category offers an extended swim-bike segment of 1 km swimming and 27 km cycling, omitting the run, distinguishing the day from a series of identical triathlon formats. The emphasis on children's and youth races lends Wanderup the character of a community competition rather than a large-scale spectacle.
