Nagler See Jedermann Triathlon

Sprint Distance in the Fichtelgebirge

The Nagler See Jedermann Triathlon brings a new triathlon event to the Fichtelgebirge — a region known for its natural landscape and hiking trails, but which has been rather underserved in triathlon sports until now. The sprint distance with 500 meters swimming, 20 kilometers cycling, and 5 kilometers running is an ideal entry-level distance: challenging enough for a competitive atmosphere, but achievable for many hobby athletes.

Nagler See as a Natural Venue

The venue is Nagler See in the municipality of Nagel in the Wunsiedel district of the Fichtelgebirge. The lake is a clear low mountain range lake with good water quality — perfect for the swimming leg. The cycling route leads through the typical Fichtelgebirge landscape: mixed forest, rolling hills, small villages. The running route circles the lake and nearby paths.

Licensed by the DTU

The competition is officially licensed by the Deutsche Triathlon Union (DTU) (permit number 02-26-01-06492) and is categorized as Other – For Everyone / Age Groups – Sprint Distance. This means: clear competition rules, timing according to DTU standards, awards in age groups, possibility for DTU ranking.

Limited to 200 Athletes

With a limit of around 200 participants, the competition remains manageable — not an anonymous mass event, but a competition where referees and helpers know the participants. This creates a familiar atmosphere where even triathlon beginners are welcome.

Organization and Registration

The organizer is runningConcepts, led by Sissy Baumann — a sports event agency established in the region with experience in running and triathlon competitions. Registration via runningconcepts.de or triathlondeutschland.de. The entry fees are 40 Euros for registrations until May 31, then 50 Euros until the registration deadline.
