Zalatriatlon Sprint Elit Országos Bajnokság 2026

Gébárti Lake is the focus, with the race course situated by Kézművesek háza instead of the beach. The Zalatriatlon Sprint Elit Országos Bajnokság has the intensity of a championship, but the event also accommodates beginners, kids, and youth participants, ensuring a lively atmosphere while maintaining a racing concentration. The location is described as a "beautiful, orderly environment," which is beneficial for a smooth transition from the swim to the next stage. The swim begins from the lake’s western corner near Kézművesek háza, starting from a floating position with buoys navigated to the left. Attention should be paid to the entry and exit points, as "the lake deepens quickly at the start." The bike course remains the same, utilizing Gébárti út with a safety detour at the turnaround and specific lane usage depending on the participant's stage (start, lap continuation, or return to the depot). Expect nearby road closures, sprint results for age groups, and convenient post-race amenities: the Fehér Hattyú restaurant and Rút Kiskacsa buffet are located close to the event area.
