For the second time, the Triathlon Basel will take place on this day. This event, which combines swimming, cycling, and running, is perfectly suited for this beautiful city on the Rhein. In late August, the Rhein usually has a pleasant water temperature of around 20 degrees, the cycling route is flat, and the running route in the heart of Basel guarantees numerous spectators who will push you to the finish line at the Dreirosenanlage. Whether you want to complete the full Olympic distance; share the disciplines with friends; combine the three elements in a smaller sprint distance; or, new this year, share the sprint distance with your friends, this event is for you.
• You can register for the complete Olympic distance, which consists of a 3-km swim (downstream), 40 km cycling, and 10 km run. The cost for this category is CHF 150.
• If you want to compete in all three disciplines but are not ready for the distances of the full triathlon, you can sign up for the sprint triathlon. The distances for this fun competition are 800 m swimming, 16 km cycling, and 5 km running; this category costs CHF 99.
• Maybe you would prefer to share the task with friends and colleagues? You enjoy a float down the Rhein, your boyfriend loves to jog, and your work colleague always rides his bike to work? Consider dividing the three disciplines and register for the Olympic Distance-Relay at a cost of CHF 250.
• If you are all not ready for these distances, you can also share the sprint triathlon with its shorter distances as a three-member team; cost for this competition is CHF 170.
The entry fee for all categories includes timekeeping, the start number, a swim cap, refreshments along the course and at the finish, medical care, massage at the finish, shuttle transport to the swim start (only for the Olympic distance), a small finisher's gift and prizes for the first-place winners in each category. A medal can be ordered upon registration for an additional fee.
Note that you must be age 16 or older to participate in this event.
