Race Week

Maria Alm
21. August 2027bis 30. August 2027
A year of preparation. One day of truth. And in between, exactly the week that makes all the difference. A 1.9-kilometre swim, a 90-kilometre bike ride, a 21.1-kilometre run – on the last weekend in August, Zell am See-Kaprun becomes the triathlon capital of the Alps. And you? You don’t arrive. You’re already there. Maria Alm lies right on the bike course. Filzensattel, Hochkönigstraße, the long descent into the valley – you’ll already know here, a week in advance, what will determine your time on race day. With a bike guide, at the group’s pace, without the pressure of competition. Plus open-water swimming, daily yoga and mobility sessions at ONKEL LENZ, physiotherapy, sports massage and a carb-loading programme that truly lives up to its name.
