Hager Papprint Biosphärentriathlon 2026

The Hager Papprint Biosphärentriathlon begins at Freibad Walsheim in Gersheim, Saarland. All races start in the morning, following an early check-in period. This is a small triathlon event focused on short, accessible distances. The Jedermann race includes a 300 m swim, a 20.3 km bike course, and a 5 km run. The Sprint Einzel uses the same bike and run distances but increases the swim to 750 m. The format offers solo athletes two options and allows teams to divide the shorter race as a relay. The participant numbers are modest: approximately 144 individuals in the shorter race, 48 relay participants, and 96 entrants in the longer-swim sprint. This suggests a local club-organized event rather than a large city triathlon. The Förderverein Freibad Walsheim is the organizer. The Sprint Einzel is also designated as the Saarland championship, introducing a competitive element alongside the option for beginners.
