Kalvarienberg
At the southernmost point of the bike course this hill stretches the athletes to the limit. The ascent, which is about 1.5 km long and up to 10 % steep, must be passed twice. But don’t be afraid: The crowds of cheering spectators almost carry the athletes up the road. So even this steep hill feels as if it was flat.
Needless to say that foreign starters are greeted and cheered on in their native languages!
Kilometre indications
In order to ensure that athletes keep track of the course, kilometre indications are put up at intervals of 10 km on the bike course and 1 km on the run course. This may help athletes to better control your speed.
Kudos
The German and foreign press has been giving us kudos for years now. Here are some of the best quotes:
- "Triathlon in Roth is like tennis in Wimbledon" (Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper)
- "Best old race" (Inside Triathlon, USA)
- "The triathlon dream factory" (Triathlon-Magazin)
- "Germany’s triathlon festival" (RHV/Nürnberger Nachrichten newspaper)

Licence of the day of the German Triathlon Union
Athletes who don’t have a start licence of the German Triathlon Union can apply for a licence of the day when signing in. The licence costs € 30 and will be handed out at the registration office together with the start documents.
ATTENTION
It will not be possible to take part in the German Championship with a licence of the day! For taking part in the German Championship the participant must have a valid start licence of the German Triathlon Union.
