Step into one of the world’s most scenic and historic triathlons—the Half Distance Triathlon Elsinore, Denmark. Your race begins with a 1.9 km (1.2 mile) swim in the calm waters of Elsinore Harbour, right beside Kronborg Castle, the legendary setting of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Next, conquer a fast and rolling 90 km bike course along Northern Sealand’s breathtaking coastline. Ride through lush forests and seaside villages like Hornbæk, on a course designed for speed and inspiration.

Finish with a 21.1 km (13.1 mile) run through Elsinore’s historic center and castle grounds, cheered on by thousands of enthusiastic spectators.

To thrive on this course, senior triathletes need more than just a generic plan—they need structured, age-specific training that prioritizes strength, endurance, recovery, and race-day execution.
