Triathlon Action at the Raffteich Outdoor Pool: Braunschweig Experiences the 21st Sparkassen Triathlon
On Sunday, June 28, 2026, the Raffteich Outdoor Pool in Braunschweig transforms into a stage for endurance, strategy, and pure competitive nerves. The 21st Sparkassen Triathlon Braunschweig brings together state league teams and recreational triathletes on a course that requires tempo, rhythm, and race dynamics over 500 to 700 meters of swimming, 20 kilometers of biking, and 5 kilometers of running. The organizer, Triathlon Team Braunschweig e.V., expects a tight field of up to 512 participants.

Swimming with Pressure, Transition with Precision
The kickoff takes place in the 50-meter pool of the Raffteich Outdoor Pool. From the very start, it becomes clear who finds their way into the competition smoothly and who feels early pressure. In triathlon, not only the legs and lungs matter, but also seamless processes: powerful start, stable line, quick transitions. It’s these fractions of a second that make the thrill of this race.

Bike Course with Racing Character
On the bike, athletes will take a 5-kilometer turn-around course along Madamenweg and Im Ganderhals, which has to be completed four times. Drafting is prohibited, helmets are mandatory, and the road requires full concentration. This makes the biking segment a test of tactics: controlling, attacking, and managing energy wisely. For spectators, this creates the kind of competitive tension that makes triathlon so tangible.

Running Course through Park and Forest
The final 5 kilometers lead through park areas and adjacent forest. This is often where everything is decided: those who find their rhythm after the transitions will push hard towards the finish. The course rewards athletes with a stable race pace and a clear mind, while the audience rallies the field forward in the final meters.
