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.
