Once a year, the entire triathlon world meets here, dozens of nations come together, peaceful Franconian villages turn into lively hubs of atmosphere, athletes, their families, and all fans of endurance sports celebrate a triathlon festival of the highest class. Nowhere in Germany is triathlon lived like here – see for yourself! But even during the other 51 weeks of the year, the district of Roth is worth a visit. Here you have the opportunity to train on the athletes' trails yourself.

    Author’s recommendation

    Training on the route is especially fun in groups due to the turnaround points!

    Safety information

    The route partly runs over public roads. Outside the competition, it is therefore important to watch out for traffic.

    Roadbook

    The route runs mostly on paved roads. Along the Main-Danube Canal, well-maintained gravel paths await, and in Roth, it goes over cobblestones through the old town.

    From the starting point at the Stone Oak parking lot in Roth, the route leads to Gartenstraße. Passing the premises of the company Nüssli, the route continues to the canal bank and the Speck Pumps operating site. Along the canal, it initially heads south to just before the Hilpoltstein lock, the first turnaround point. The second turnaround point is near the Schwanstetten lock, before returning from the canal bank back to Roth.

    There, the route leads to Kugelbühlplatz, then between the town hall and church to Marktplatz. Straight across Marktplatz. Shortly after Willy Supf-Platz, the turnoff follows into Sandgasse.

    From there, it goes straight until the end of the street, where the Rednitz is crossed and finally the sewage treatment plant is reached. From there, the route follows the road to Büchenbach. Via the school center, it goes straight to Rathausplatz, where directly in front of the town hall the second turnaround point awaits in the form of the atmospheric pond loop. From here, it returns on the same route to Roth and the finish at Festplatz.
