Oettinger Triathlon 2026

The Oettinger Triathlon is a small sprint triathlon in Oettingen in Bayern, a Bavarian town in Swabia. It uses the classic swim-bike-run format, with 0.5 km of swimming, 20 km of road cycling, and 5 km of running for both individual starters and relay teams. TSV Oettingen organizes the race, and the field is deliberately manageable: about 200 individual athletes and 50 relay entries are expected. This is a club-style race rather than a large production, making it easy to understand and approachable for mixed abilities. Beginners get a short triathlon without an all-day commitment, while experienced athletes get a straightforward sprint effort. The relay option lets teams split the swim, bike, and run, and the setting around Oettingen sits in a part of Bavaria with plenty of lakes and ponds.
