Hofsee-Triathlon 2026

The Hofsee-Triathlon 2026 is a one-day, multi-distance triathlon held at Klempauer‑Hofsee near Lübeck and presented by PALM Sports. The event forms part of the PALM SERIE and the organiser highlights a family‑friendly, tradition‑driven atmosphere; organisers also note the possibility of an Olympic‑distance start in 2026 ("NEU in 2026 mit möglichem Start auf der Olympischen Distanz"). Races use lake swimming, looped bike circuits and looped runs with transponder timing and an official post‑race prize presentation.

Practical participant arrangements include mandatory race briefing, transponder chip timing (transponder deposit and return rules apply), on‑site catering and running aid stations, and recommended parking near Krummesse for visitors. Registration opens 15 January 2026 with tiered entry windows and a final entry deadline in mid‑May (entries close or when sold out); relay teams (two or three people) and solo entries are accepted across distances. Safety and competition rules follow DTU and SHTU approval and local federation guidance; organisers publish a participant tips document and a video briefing before race day.
