19. Hallig-Dreeathlon

The 19th Hallig-Dreeathlon is set to take place on August 21, 2026, offering participants an exciting blend of cycling, running, and swimming along the scenic coastlines of Northern Germany. This unique triathlon challenges athletes with a total distance that includes 10 kilometers each for the bike legs, interspersed by two runs totaling nearly 11 kilometers, plus a refreshing swim in the North Sea covering approximately 400 meters.
The race begins at Amsinck-House near Langenhorn, where participants will start their journey with an initial cycle to the first transition zone. From there, they'll head out on foot towards the Badestelle der Hamburger Hallig for a dip in the North Sea before returning via another run back to Amsinck-House and then cycling once more to reach the finish line at FC Langenhorn's Sportlerheim.
Registration is open until August 17, 2026, with early bird rates available up to December 31, 2025. Individual entries cost €34 for those who register before this deadline and €35 thereafter (both including a small handling fee). Team registrations are priced at €45 for early sign-ups and €48 after the initial period ends.
Participants will receive their start numbers, transponders, and race vests during an equipment distribution from 16:30 to 17:45 on event day. This essential gear is provided free of charge thanks to Dirkshof/EED GmbH & Co. KG's sponsorship support. Spectators can expect a well-organized transition area with clear signage guiding them through the parking and start procedures.
The race itself features individual starts every ten seconds, ensuring an exciting dynamic as athletes push against their competitors over the challenging course terrain. Post-race amenities include refreshments for participants to enjoy after crossing the finish line along with food trucks offering a variety of culinary options and cold beverages.
Organized by SV Enge-Sande, this event has been officially sanctioned since 2019 under the auspices of SHTU (Schleswig-Holstein Triathlon Union), ensuring adherence to high safety standards. As part of their commitment to athlete welfare, organizers will provide water stations throughout both cycling legs and during running segments.
Competitors should be prepared with proper gear such as swim goggles, caps, and appropriate clothing for transitioning between disciplines swiftly without losing time or focus on the course layout. A strict no-deposit rule applies in transition zones; athletes must carry any required items themselves to avoid delays.
Upon completion of their efforts, racers will gather at FC Langenhorn's Sportlerheim where awards ceremonies await alongside opportunities to socialize and celebrate achievements with fellow competitors. This event promises not only a test of endurance but also an enjoyable day out in the beautiful surroundings of Northern Germany.
For more detailed information about timing specifics or other updates, registered participants will receive email notifications leading up to race day. The venue's parking is clearly marked along Horne Street (25842 Langenhorn), and access restrictions are enforced on Am Sportplatz for safety reasons during the event.
Entrants should be aware that any loss of their timing chip would result in a €40 administrative fee, underlining the importance of keeping track of personal belongings throughout the competition. As always, participants compete at their own risk acknowledging all rules outlined by DTU (Deutsche Triathlon Union) and SV Enge-Sande's liability disclaimer.
By signing up for this event, athletes agree to have their data used strictly for race management purposes including results publication online or in media formats like print publications without compensation. Personal health declarations affirm readiness and fitness levels required to safely complete the distance.
