SwimRun Trial Distance

 

The pivotal point is Ottenstein Castle, which offers a unique panorama for the start, finish, but also registration, award ceremony and race briefing in a medieval setting.

 

The participants over the sprint distance experience the core of the Ottenstein reservoir in the immediate vicinity of the dam.

 

Five running and four swimming sections offer a lot of variety.

 

2023 offers a complete redisign of the route with new trails and new perspectives.

 

Start and finish in front of Ottenstein Castle is definitely a unique experience. The natural trails, the Lichtenfeld ruins, some power places and wonderful views arise along the whole route.

 

 

The start is on Sundaz at 9:40   a.m. together with the sprint distance

 

The race briefing takes place interactively on Saturday at 4 p.m. via Facebook Lifestream on the Backwaterman Facebook page. The briefing is then available as a video. The interactive race briefing is on all rules and pointers

to be observed as mandatory!

 

The  route can be mastered both individually and in a team.
