The Race Courses

Swim - 3.8 km Start and finish at the canal landing stage in Hilpoltstein. Swimmers start in south direction and turn for home after 1.9 km. Finish below the canal bridge Hilpoltstein-Allersberg.

Bike - 180 km The cycling course begins at the canal landing stage in Hilpoltstein and leads over two loops of 85.5 km each, followed by a closing of 9 km back to Roth. The looped course leads from Eckersmühlen to Wallesau - Laffenau – Seiboldsmühle - Heideck - Selingstadt - Alfershausen - Thalmässing - Greding - Röckenhofen - Obermässing - Karm - Weinsfeld - Eysölden - Tiefenbach - Unterrödel - Hilpoltstein - Solar - Pierheim - Mörlach - Hilpoltstein - Heuberg - Haimpfarrich back to Eckersmühlen. 90% percent of the course is closed for traffic. The climbs are a signature feature of the course, with 3 climbs between 6 and 10% at a length of 800 m to 1.5 km.

Hot spots for spectators are the Kalvarienberg at Greding, the “Solarer Berg” at Hilpoltstein, the „Biermeile“ at Eckersmühlen, the town centres of Seligenstadt and Thalmässing.

Run - 42.195 km The 2018 newly installed route is a one-lap-course links with only 160 instead of 330 vertical metres. The new course heads from Transition Zone 2 to the Roth Canal, through the industrial area before branching off south to the first turn around at Eckersmühlen lock. From there it heads back to Roth industrial area and continues north to the Leerstetten lock (turning point 2), then along the canal back to Roth. After a short loop on the Alte Allersberger road, the athletes run through Rothgrund to the Roth town centre. Then, as in 2017, it's off to Büchenbach before heading back to the centre of Roth and finally to the finish line stadium.

The course is flat except for a rise just before Büchenbach and the recent addition towards Lände and is completely on paved, closed roads. Only (as before) the short wooded area to Lände and the short stretch of the canal is run on gravel paths.

Hot spots for spectators are the “Triathlon Park” in Roth, the “Lände Roth” with the Hot Spot Speck Pumpen and the city center of Roth with Kugelbühlplatz, market square with ERDINGER Alkoholfrei PowerZone till Sandgasse. Additionally the school center Büchenbach and the Hot Spot at the Rathausplatz and around the village pond in Büchenbach (“Büchenbach Weiherschleife”).
