Hachede-Triathlon

The Hachede-Triathlon is a multi-distance triathlon held as part of the PALM SERIE, staged at Menzer-Werft-Platz in Geesthacht. On 23 August 2026 the event offers Supertriathlon, Volkstriathlon, Sprinttriathlon and Olympische Distanz formats, with entries for individuals and relays. Racing begins with harbour swims in the Geesthachter Hafen, followed by a 10 km bike loop and a 2.4 km running loop alongside the Elbe, with athletes completing one, two or four laps depending on their chosen distance.

The organiser emphasises inclusivity, nature and a friendly race atmosphere, while also maintaining competition standards through mandatory briefings and official timekeeping. Timing is by transponder and water safety is provided by DLRG; there are on-site facilities including changing rooms, toilets and warm showers for competitors. The event village provides refreshments and an exposition area, and the finish on Menzer-Werft-Platz is presented as a spectator-friendly celebration.
