Tri På Tyren

Tri on Tyren returns for its exciting finale of the season on Saturday, September 12, 2026, making it Denmark's last open water triathlon event of the year. This beloved race is held at Bastrup Ruin and attracts up to 300 participants due to parking limitations that prevent larger gatherings.
The "Good" sprint distance offers a challenging yet manageable course: swimmers will tackle a 750-meter swim in the refreshing waters of Bastrup Lake, which typically hover between 16-19°C. Cyclists then take on two laps around Tyren's famous 11.6-kilometer loop before concluding with a scenic five-kilometer run through Nyvang Forest and alongside the lake.
For those seeking an extra challenge, "The Bad" Olympic distance is available: swimmers will cover 1500 meters in Bastrup Lake followed by four laps around Tyren on their bikes. The race concludes with a grueling ten kilometers of running along beautiful forest trails and through picturesque landscapes surrounding Bastrup Ruin.
Participants can choose to compete individually or as part of the relay team for "The Good" sprint distance, making it an ideal introduction to triathlon for newcomers or those recovering from injuries. All participants must either be members of Tri Danmark (EPM) or purchase a single-person membership upon registration and should meet age requirements: 13 years old by 2026 for the sprint event and 18 years old for the Olympic distance.
The race starts promptly at 11:00 AM, with "The Bad" competitors beginning first followed closely by individual starters of "The Good," each separated by a brief interval. Safety is paramount; flag stations and traffic officials are positioned along both cycling routes to ensure smooth operation until 2 PM when they conclude their duties.
All participants must cross the finish line before cutoff times: cyclists have until 2 PM, while runners need to complete their segment by 3 PM for official results. The event is sanctioned under Triathlon Denmark's guidelines and boasts a certified safety standard, providing peace of mind to all competitors.
Registration fees are non-refundable unless the race is canceled due to unforeseen circumstances; in such cases, refunds will be issued minus an administrative fee of DKK 25 per entry. This unique triathlon promises unforgettable moments for athletes eager to cap off their season with a thrilling and scenic challenge.
