TRAFFIC INFORMATION

Various institutions and organisations work together to ensure that a sporting event like the Zurich City Triathlon can take place. The aim is to minimise the restrictions and impact on local residents and the general public. However, this cannot be completely avoided. We therefore kindly ask for your understanding, support and cooperation. Thank you very much.

The organiser has received the relevant permission. The traffic concept, including all closures and diversions, has been developed in close cooperation with the municipal and cantonal police. For safety reasons and to ensure that everything runs smoothly, it is necessary to follow the instructions of the police, traffic cadets, volunteers and organising committee.

On this page you will find all information about road closures, diversions and access routes. Thank you for your support.

ZURICH CITY TRIATHLON 2026

The Zurich City Triathlon 2026 will take place on Saturday, 27 June and Sunday, 28 June 2026.

Zurich City Triathlon

ATTENTION DANGER!

Triathletes usually have their heads down and only look forwards briefly to maintain the most aerodynamic position possible on the bike. Top speeds of up to 50 km/h can be expected on the flat.

A vehicle or a passer-by on the route can therefore have fatal consequences.

Please follow the instructions of the police, traffic cadets and our helpers. We want to avoid accidents! Help us, be careful!
