The 1.9km-long swimming course is covered in Lake Walchsee in the foothills of mighty Kaisergebirge Mountain Range. 25m-deep Lake Walchsee with a water temperature of 20°C – 24°C and drinking water quality offers perfect conditions for a fast swim time.
The cycling route leads from Walchsee through Kössen and then along the original route of the Cycling Masters World Championship towards Erpfendorf, through Kirchdorf and into the foothills of Huberhöhe, where the most difficult ascent of the route starts. Athletes have to expect inclines of up to 12%. The route continues to direction Schwendt/Bichlach and eventually leads back to Kössen, where the second loop starts. After the second loop a slightly ascending road leads from Kössen to the changing area in Walchsee. Altogether the 90km-long loop covers 900 m of altitude difference.
The slightly hilly 3-loop run course leads around the lake along the promenade, past farmhouses and in-between fields and meadows. Again and again picturesque views of the Kaiser Massif and Lake Walchsee can be enjoyed.
Challenge Walchsee-Kaiserwinkl is part of the Challenge Family series that features 13 races across three continents. The Challenge Family is the original family in triathlon and its rapid emergence as one of the leading triathlon organisations wouldn't have been possible without the support of the athletes who come to Challenge races for the unique atmosphere, exceptional races and the true sense of being part of a larger family that puts the athlete first.
