Festival Market 2025: Second Edition Featuring Soccer Court, Festival Opening & Jonas Deichmann Live
A vibrant programme from July 3 to July 7 – the meeting place for triathlon fans, families, and the entire region
After a successful debut last year, the Festival Market at DATEV Challenge Roth is returning for round two in 2025! From Thursday, July 3 to Monday, July 7, visitors can look forward to an exciting summer festival atmosphere – with free admission on all days.
New Kids Area with Soccer Court
A brand-new highlight this year is the Soccer Court: for the first time, young football talents can show off their skills, burn off some energy, and have fun right in the heart of the Festival Market. The children's area also features an epic inflatable obstacle course that’s sure to light up young eyes with excitement.
Hungry? Thirsty? No worries – a wide selection of food trucks will be serving up tasty bites and refreshing drinks all weekend long.
Jonas Deichmann Live & Big Festival Opening
The stage programme is packed with highlights: on Friday at 5 PM, the official Festival Opening will take place on the Center Stage, featuring some of the biggest stars in triathlon and kicking off the race weekend in style.
But the inspiration starts even earlier – on Thursday evening, extreme adventurer Jonas Deichmann will take the stage to share stories of his jaw-dropping expeditions. Right after, the documentary film by Markus Henssler will be shown on the Festival Market – also free of charge.
On Saturday, the official race briefings will also take place as part of the Festival Market programme. The emotional finale comes on Monday with the big award ceremony for both the pro athletes and age groupers.
A Place for Heartfelt Connections
With the Festival Market, the DATEV Challenge Roth team has created more than just a triathlon fan zone – it’s a space where generations come together, where athletes and supporters connect, and where everyone, no matter their background, is welcome. A place that simply doesn’t exist at any other triathlon event in the world.
The Festival Market stands for connection, community, and celebration – a heartfelt thank-you to the local community that has supported this iconic race for decades.
Stay tuned – more programme highlights and delicious food offerings will be announced in the coming weeks!
