Reiffenhausen — A district of Friedland with a vibrant club life
Reiffenhausen is one of the districts of the Friedland municipality in the southern Göttingen district. TSV Reiffenhausen is one of the central clubs in the village and has been driving an event for over two decades with the folk triathlon, which is known far beyond the village borders. The Schleierbach — a small stream after which the event is named — shapes the landscape around Reiffenhausen.
23rd Edition of a Folk Sports Tradition
With its 23rd edition in 2026, the Schleierbach Folk Triathlon looks back on a remarkable history. From a small club festival, it has evolved over the years into an established amateur sports event that attracts hundreds of participants annually from the entire Göttingen, Hann. Münden, and Witzenhausen area.
Three Disciplines for All Age Groups
The triathlon combines the classic three disciplines: swimming, cycling, and running. Unlike competitive triathlons, the courses are chosen so that hobby and recreational athletes can also manage the distances. Various competition categories — individual start, team start, family start, youth, seniors — ensure that everyone finds a suitable starting class.
Twelve Hours of Program from 11 AM to 11 PM
The event runs from 11 AM to 11 PM on June 20, 2026 — a full twelve hours. This long program duration allows for multiple starts and competition categories to be spread throughout the day, a awards ceremony in the late afternoon, and the day to conclude with a festive event in the evening. The atmosphere combines sporting ambition with village conviviality.
Folk Sports with a Community Character
The deliberate folk sports character distinguishes the event from other triathlons. The primary focus is not on best times, but on the shared experience, meeting within the club, and participation. Families start together, clubs compete as teams, and first-time athletes are also encouraged to try the distances. This inclusive approach makes the Schleierbach Triathlon a special event in the South Lower Saxony sports landscape.
