Deutzer Hafen / Deutzer Brücke, Cologne (race start area along the Rhine)
The Köln Triathlon (Köln Triathlon 2026) is a city-centre triathlon held along the Rhine that combines open‑water swimming in the river with cycling and running routes that showcase Cologne’s waterfront and historic landmarks. The course is described as flat and fast, with sights including the Kölner Dom, Rheinauhafen and runs across the Hohenzollernbrücke, offering a distinctive urban race atmosphere in the heart of the city. The event is promoted as a festival weekend with an accompanying Tri.EXPO at Tanzbrunnen that brings athletes, brands and spectators together.
Participants can choose from multiple formats — middle distance, Olympic distance and sprint, with relay options for the middle and Olympic distances — making the weekend suitable for elite, age‑group and club competitors. The organiser highlights a one‑day race programme on 6 September 2026 with build‑up and expo activity across the weekend, and registration is open via the official event website. The event is organised by Kölner AusdauerSport GmbH and is positioned as a major autumn endurance event in Cologne’s riverside setting.
