Die Finals 2026 am Steinhuder Meer
Triathlon at the Steinhude Beach Terraces
The Steinhude Beach Terraces serve as the central venue for all triathlon competitions. Experience firsthand as professional and ambitious amateur athletes take the plunge into the water, hop on their bikes, and finally cross the finish line. All races will also be broadcast on a large LED screen at the Steinhude Beach Terraces plaza.
Coastal Rowing on Steinhude Bathing Island
At Steinhude Bathing Island, visitors can enjoy Coastal Rowing—a dynamic and spectator-friendly rowing competition discipline that will make its Olympic debut in Los Angeles in 2028. The short, action-packed races start and finish on the beach at Steinhude Bathing Island. The rowing course runs close to the shore and is clearly visible. The one-on-one format makes it easy to follow and guarantees exciting moments of competition—with the best views included.
Sailing and Surfing on the Steinhuder Meer
The Flying Dutchman (sailing) and Raceboard (surfing) championships will be held on the Steinhuder Meer. If you’d like to watch the competitions in a special atmosphere, the Yacht-Club Niedersachsen (Weidenbruchsweg/Uferweg 1) is the perfect spot: From July 23 to July 26, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., all races and other final competitions will be shown on a large LED screen at the club’s grounds in Mardorf on the north shore. Located right on the shore, with food and drink options and cold beverages, this is the ideal opportunity to experience top-level athletic performances.
For a special spectator experience, a limited number of free tickets for a spot on the passenger boat “Steinhude” can be booked. This allows guests to get up close to the regatta course and experience the sailing and surfing races right on the water. Click here for tickets.

The Meer Radio Seebühne invites you to two special evenings in front of the beach terraces during the “Finals”: On July 24, the band Chicago Lane will create a groovy atmosphere, and on July 25, JunX will bring fresh energy to the stage. Both events start at 6 p.m.—admission is free.
