34. Bärentriathlon

At the end of August, things will be hopping again in Bad Zwischenahn. That’s when the 1st Oldenburg Triathlon Club “Die Bären” will host the 33rd Bärentriathlon in Bad Zwischenahn. On August 29 and 30, all running and swimming enthusiasts will once again be able to enjoy one of the region’s most beautiful courses. This year, a diverse field of participants across all age groups is expected to compete in Swim & Run events as well as the classic triathlon. Once again, there will be an interesting mix of competitive and recreational athletes.
