EIFEL HERO 2026

EIFEL HERO is a triathlon and multisport race based at Freilinger See in Blankenheim, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The event is tied to late June and offers several ways in: an aquathlon for swim-run athletes, an Olympic-distance triathlon, and relay racing for teams. The race uses the lake area at Am Freilinger See as its hub, with the wider Blankenheim setting giving it a small Eifel-town feel rather than a big-city race setup. Fields usually sit around 500 to 1,000 participants, with CREACTIVE Sports & More UG behind the event and mika timing handling results. Its recent history has been uneven, with a pause and a planned comeback, and the EIFEL HERO meets Gesamtschule Eifel project adds a local youth-sport angle by trying to bring schoolchildren into sport.
