The Aischgrund Triathlon is a sprint-distance event held at Waldbad Neustadt a.d. Aisch in Bavaria’s Middle Franconia region. The format is straightforward: 400 metres swimming, 20 kilometres road cycling, and a 5 kilometre road run. DLRG OV Neustadt a.d. Aisch organizes the race, which typically attracts around 250 individual participants and about 20 relay teams. Sprint distance races begin in the morning, and registration usually remains open until mid-August.
This is a local race day, not a grand spectacle, which contributes to its charm. The course follows the standard triathlon sequence: swim, road bike, then a short road run. It is open to all athletes and age-group competitors, and relay teams can divide the three disciplines. The event has a long history and also serves as the venue for the Middle Franconian Championship over the sprint distance.
