Frühjahrstriathlon

Frühjahrstriathlon is a sprint triathlon held in Gimbsheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, typically on a Sunday in early May. The individual race begins in the morning, following the standard short format: a 500 m swim, 20 km of road cycling, and a 5 km run. It is a small local event, with approximately 100 individual sprint participants anticipated, giving it the feel of a community race rather than a large triathlon festival. The course is flat, making it suitable for first-time triathletes and beneficial for experienced age-group athletes aiming for a quick early-season performance. All races conclude at Zum Schwimmbad in Gimbsheim, and the event is organized by Schwimmverein Freibad Gimbsheim, the local swimming pool club. In addition to the individual sprint, a 3-person relay is offered over the same distances, with around 20 relay teams expected. The categories include Jedermann and age-group, indicating the event is geared towards everyday athletes rather than a professional-only field.
