The Seenland Triathlon takes place at Steinberg am See in Bavaria, Germany, on a lake within the Upper Palatinate region. Organized by Ski-Club e.V. Schwandorf, it offers approachable formats including supersprint and sprint races, along with relay options for teams. The supersprint is designed for newcomers, and the sprint provides a concise local competition for more seasoned athletes, distinct from a large festival atmosphere.
The race follows the standard triathlon sequence: check-in, a lake swim, a road cycling segment, a run, and the finish. The location's background is unique; the Oberpfälzer Seenland area was formerly a lignite mining site and now hosts the triathlon at Steinberg am See. Ambitious competitors, novices, various age categories, and relay teams all utilize the same race venue. The event's motto, “From athletes for athletes,” reflects its functional, club-organized character.
