Swimming, cycling, and running in the Kitzbühel Alps. Let's TRI together!...
The triathlon has its roots in the 1970s, emerging from the idea of combining various endurance sports. There are different versions of how the triathlon exactly originated, but generally, it is believed that the modern triathlon originated on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
"Triathlon is for all of those who think, that doing one sport isn‘t hard enough."
Once again, top European athletes are competing for medals in the "Gamsstadt". Participants compete either individually or as part of a team, aiming to complete the course in the shortest time possible. Kitzbühel, with its beautiful landscape and challenging terrain, provides an excellent backdrop for such an event.
From June 14th to 16th, 2024, the annual Triathlon Weekend will take place at the Schwarzsee in Kitzbühel. The program includes the Europe Triathlon Cup, a competition for European elite athletes, as well as races for enthusiastic amateur athletes and the KitzTRIGames for Austrian triathlon juniors. It is also an opportunity for spectators to admire the athleticism of the participants and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Austrian Alps.
