The Half Distance Triathlon Kraichgau isn't just a race—it's a rite of passage through Germany's breathtaking "land of 1000 hills." This course demands more than determination; it requires a smart, structured approach to training that prepares you for every climb, surge, and stride.
.
Begin with a 1.9 km swim in the crystal-clear waters of Hardtsee, averaging 73°F (23°C). Then take on 90 km of cycling through forests and vineyards, gaining over 1000 meters of elevation. Finish with a 21.1 km run through the revitalized Kurpark in Bad Schönborn, fueled by Kraichgau’s legendary crowd support and 72°F (22°C) race-day temps.
