Triathlon in Bremen: Late registrations for the 10th Bremen City Triathlon are still possible

Bremen is looking forward to the 10th City Triathlon this year. This Sunday, August 14th, the anniversary event will take place with three competition formats and the Bremen State Championships over the Olympic distance.

Event center with maritime flair

At the City Triathlon, the name says it all: In the Bremen district of Überseestadt, a completely new district has developed on almost 300 hectares - right next to the city of Bremen and with many exclusive waterfront locations. Huge warehouses, harbor basins and maritime industry stand alongside modern architecture. The maritime industry is also based here and allows tradition and modernity to harmonize in a fascinating way.

The transition zone, start and finish are therefore located directly at the Europahafen , which inspires with a unique environment and a grandiose atmosphere on the quay and harbor basin. This is also where the opening discipline of swimming and a jump into the harbor basin begins. The bike course is completely closed on the day of the event and runs on paved paths, so that the athletes can fully concentrate on their sport. The turning point route is designed particularly flat for fast bike times and leads through Bremen's Überseestadt to the Waterfront shopping center with a few curves. The subsequent run is largely completed on the water. The final route leads along the cheering audience on the lively Schlachte promenade to the turning point and back to the quay in Überseestadt.

Late registrations are possible for all disciplines

On the day of the event, late registrations will be accepted for all disciplines. Late registration is possible at the starting point handover on Saturday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and on Sunday from 8.30 a.m.

The organizer is optimistic about the future

“Last year our triathlon was one of the few in Germany to be carried out with the corresponding requirements. We are very pleased that after two difficult years for the entire event industry, we were able to plan our anniversary event this year without restrictions and that spectators are also allowed again, " says Jan Brüning from the executive Spospom GmbH. However, since Corona is still an issue, the organizer offers all participants a special service: If the triathlon has to be canceled due to corona, all athletes will receive their participation fee back. The athletes don’t go away empty-handed even if they have their own corona disease: If a corona infection is proven (max. 4 weeks before the event), the starting place will be postponed to the coming year. "We are expecting around 1,000 participants this year," says Brüning optimistically.

When registering, athletes can choose between three competitions :

The Volkstriathlon consists of a 500 m swim, 20 km bike ride and 5 km run and is intended for individual athletes. In the various relays, up to three different athletes can complete the stages of the popular triathlon. There are categories for companies, women, men and for mixed relays. Olympic distances are required for the Olympic Triathlon: 1.5 km swimming, 40 km cycling and 10 km running.
