Triathlon through the middle of a million strong metropolis - that's something you will only find in Hamburg. Each year the World Cup is staged in front of a record breaking backdrop. Nowhere else are the athletes cheered on so frenetically by such a mass of enthusiastic spectators. Nowhere else does the athlete have such impressive scenery. Swimming in the Alster, cycling on the main shopping streets of the old trading city, running on the banks of the Binnenalster and the finish in the Triathlon stadium before the historic setting of the Hamburg City Hall - this is all part of the Dextro Energy Triathlon Hamburg.

Course Map

Swim Course: 1.5km / 2 laps
The start is in the form of a pontoon start. There are two laps to swim. The first turn is at 350m. After the first lap there is a short landing with a 180° turn on land. There is a rather dark tunnel about 40m long, which has to be swum through three times.

Bike Course: 40km / 8 laps
Generally flat profile with no noteworthy climbs. There are eight circuits of 4.9km to ride. The route is technically demanding, due to the many changes of direction and tight turns. Very good tarmac surface. Riders who are more than 6 minutes behind the leading group will have to be taken out of the race by the last lap at the latest, to avoid conflicting with the leading runners at the turning points on the running course.

Run Course: 10km / 4 laps
Generally flat course. There are four laps of 2.5km to run. Two 180° turns per lap. Very good tarmac surface.
