Stadtwerke-Bochum-Triathlon

The Stadtwerke-Bochum-Triathlon is a club-organized triathlon day in Bochum, North Rhine-Westphalia, held at the Freibad of SV Blau-Weiss Bochum e.V. The start and transition area are located at Am Wiesengrund, giving the event a local sports club feel rather than a large expo-style setup. It includes sprint, short-distance, relay, age-group, and open-entry races, with distinct formats for children and juniors. The adult sprint race involves a 500 m swim, 18.5 km bike, and 5 km run. The short-distance race features a 1 km swim, 37 km bike, and 10 km run. Relay teams can compete in either the sprint or short-distance configurations. Younger athletes have significantly shorter courses, including a Schüler C race with a 100 m swim, 2.5 km bike, and 400 m run. The participant numbers are moderate for a triathlon, with the main individual sprint and short-distance races each expecting around 300 participants, supplemented by smaller relay and youth fields. The organizer advises checking the final race instructions for competition conditions and potential procedure modifications.
