Triathlon atmosphere at Raffteich: Braunschweig looks forward to the 21st Sparkassen Triathlon

On Sunday, June 28, 2026, the Raffteich outdoor swimming pool will transform into a stage for endurance, tactics, and strong legs. The 21st Sparkassen Triathlon Braunschweig will start at 10:00 AM, featuring a compact and intense racing format with 500/700 meters of swimming, 20 kilometers of cycling, and 5 kilometers of running. The event is organized by the Triathlon Team Braunschweig e.V., which is hosting the competition at Raffteichbad for the first time instead of Heidbergsee.

Swimming, drafting, transition zones: Every meter counts here

The kickoff in the water already demands clean technique and a clear race pace. After that, on the bike, not only strength counts, but also positioning within the field and a keen eye for one's own reserves. With the 5 km running decision, the race becomes a heartbeat finale, where every increase in pace on the course is felt. The TTB describes its Braunschweig Triathlon as challenging and emphasizes the athletic breadth of the event with around 600 athletes in the overall project of the association.

The Raffteich outdoor swimming pool offers sports infrastructure with a 50-meter pool, grandstand, spacious outdoor area, and good accessibility. There are free parking spaces available directly at the pool, and the Raffteichbad and Raffturm stops are in immediate proximity.
