RACE COURSES
The Zurich City Triathlon courses promise fast times and new personal bests thanks to closed roads. At the end of June, Lake Zurich usually has a pleasant water temperature of around 20°C, which should allow for a wetsuit swim. The flat bike course is completed multiple times as a circuit depending on the category. The run course in the heart of Zurich guarantees plenty of spectators cheering you on all the way to the finish line at Landiwiese.
