Where it is
Stubenberg am See, Styria, Austria
Is this your race?
A sprint is the friendliest triathlon distance: short enough to finish with a smile, long enough to feel like a real achievement. The swim is in a lake rather than the sea. The bike is the one thing to look into, because the area is known for hills and we couldn't confirm the sprint's climbing, so we haven't counted it for or against. Beginner fit 5/5: Sprint baseline 5, no verified factors applied.
✅ You’ll love it if…
- You want a short, welcoming first triathlon with a manageable swim, bike and run.
- You like the idea of a lake swim instead of the open sea.
- You'd enjoy a ride through the Styrian countryside and a lakeside setting.
⏳ Build up first if…
- You haven't swum in open water before. Practise in a lake or pool with a friend a few times first.
- You've only ridden on flat ground. Add some gentle hill rides, since the area may be rolling.
- You're new to riding in a group or near other riders. Practise riding steadily and holding your line.

The course, demystified
Three short legs in and around Stubenberg am See in Styria. We haven't verified the sprint's exact route, surfaces or elevation, so check the organiser's official course map before race day.
Respira y flota (breathe and float) — the start is the moment most beginners worry about, and a little time to settle makes it easier. The swim is in Stubenbergsee. Stay wide of the crowd if you like, keep your strokes easy, and roll onto your back whenever you need a breather.
The ride is a short one, about 19.5 km. The event takes place in the hilly Apfelland region, so plan for some rolling terrain. The sprint's own climbing hasn't been verified. Pick an easy gear, spin your legs and enjoy the countryside.
A short run to finish your day. Check the official course map for where the run goes and where you finish. Your legs may feel wobbly for the first few minutes after the bike. That's normal, so start gently and build.
