The Wasserstadt Triathlon Hannover-Limmer is a triathlon weekend held in Hannover's Limmer district, Lower Saxony, featuring sprint and full-distance races. The sprint distances are the standard 750 m swim, 20 km bike, and 5 km run. These are contested by individual athletes, relay teams, age-group competitors, and local league participants from the Verbandsliga and Landesliga. The long-distance race is more demanding: 3.8 km swimming, 180 km cycling, and a 42 km marathon run, available for individuals and relay teams. The event completed at least fifteen editions in Limmer before organizers cited site capacity limits.
