Poggensee Triathlon

The Poggensee-Triathlon is a compact, community-organised sprint triathlon centred on the Freibad Poggensee in Bad Oldesloe. The race (listed by the organiser as the 32nd edition) combines an open-water swim inside the Poggensee facility with a lakeside bike circuit and a short run course, making it accessible to newcomers while still offering a sporting challenge for experienced athletes. Organised by local clubs, the event emphasises a friendly, local-race atmosphere and a scenic course on the northern outskirts of Bad Oldesloe.

The standard sprint format consists of a 500 m swim, roughly 21 km of cycling (three laps around the Poggensee area) and a 5 km run (two short loops / 2.5 km turnaround). Participants are advised to consult the organiser's pages for the official athlete information and any updates, since the event page indicates some details refer to past editions and registration deadlines may change.
