35th Hamelner Triathlon

The 35. Hamelner Triathlon (35th edition) is scheduled for 17 May 2026 and is organised by the triathlon section of ESV Eintracht Hameln e. V. The event uses the Weserberglandstadion as the start/finish and registration area, with the swimming leg held in the heated Südbad (50 m lanes) using assigned lanes and start groups. The event caters for a broad range of ages with a Volkstriathlon for older youth and adults plus multiple Kinder-/Schülertriathlon categories. The organiser highlights an almost 40‑year history for the club and the race is one of the largest sporting events in the Hameln‑Pyrmont district.

Online registration opened on 14 January 2026 and closes on 3 May 2026 (registration valid only upon payment); a participant limit of about 700 starters is stated. Timing is electronic via a Time‑Chip system (own chips not permitted) and results, certificates and prize giving are published online on the evening of the race. The information document and official event pages outline logistics including check‑in windows, category distances, marshalled and traffic‑controlled two‑lap bike course, two run laps, DTU rules (including a drafting ban and mandatory helmet use), transfer/late‑entry rules and on‑site provisions such as refreshments, showers/changing and parking.
