Altwarmbüchener Triathlon am 2026

The Altwarmbüchener Triathlon takes place over two days in Hannover, Lower Saxony, during mid-August. It is also known as the Hannover-Lahe Triathlon and is organized by Schwimmclub Altwarmbüchen von 2005 e.V. The event accommodates both individual and relay participants, primarily catering to Jedermann and age-group competitors instead of exclusively specialists. The standard sprint distance includes a 0.75 km swim, a 20 km bike ride, and a 5 km run. The short-distance event extends these to 1.5 km, 40 km, and 10 km, respectively. Additionally, shorter sprint variations feature swims between 0.38 and 0.40 km and 10 km bike legs, with a junior race specifically for 18- and 19-year-olds. Participant numbers are anticipated to range from approximately 10 relay or junior entries up to about 200 athletes in the main sprint races. The organizers supply video previews of the run and bike courses, allowing participants to familiarize themselves with the routes prior to the event.
