COURSES
SWIM
Swimming in the crystal clear Baltic Sea!
The OstseeMan start will be from the Glücksburg beach. While the athletes of the long distance will start in a mass start, the middle distance athletes will start in 4 groups. The swim is clockwise on a 1.9 km long rectangular course. After one (MD) or two laps (LD) the athletes leave the water and make their way to the transition area. All swimmers must swim to the left of the marker buoys. The fans have an ideal view from the pier to the start and later to the exit from the water.
Please note: Training on the swim course is not possible due to boat traffic!
Time limit Long Distance: 2 hours 10 minutes
Time Limit Middle Distance: 1 hour 10 minutes
BIKE
Fast, beautiful and unique!
With the OstseeMan 2022, the partly newly planned and perfectly prepared bike course was introduced. The fast, slightly hilly bike course leads the athletes through the charming regions of Angeln and Glücksburg. Thanks to the small climbs and descents, the bike course is very varied. The maximum altitude of the bike course is 51 meters above sea level. The route on the B199 is closed for cars. In addition to the approximately 20 km long ride on the closed B199, the passage at the legendary Sandwig Hill is a unique experience! The spectators have a good view at many points. In total there are 2 or 4 laps to complete.
Time limit Swim & Bike – Long Distance: 9 hours 30 minutes
Time limit Swim & Bike – Middle Distance: 5 hours 30 minutes
RUN
Along the coast to the finish!
The running course in Glücksburg is one of the most beautiful running courses in triathlon! There are 3 or 6 laps of 7.03 km each.
After the start, the route runs along the spa promenade directly alongside the water. The route continues past the Glückselig restaurant and over the Blocksberg towards Glücksburg city center to the turning point.
The route then runs along Schwennau Straße and Beckerwerft (VP1) back along the waterfront on the beach path and promenade to Quellental. The route then loops back through the Flensburg Sailing Club.
Passing the start and finish again, the route continues to the next running lap and later to the finish.
Time Limit Swim & Bike & Run – Long Distance: 15 hours
Time Limit Swim & Bike Run – Middle Distance: 8 hours
TRANSITION ZONE
The fourth discipline.
The heart of the event site – the transition area – is located in the middle of the Glücksburg spa park. This is divided according to the respective classifications (long/middle distance and individual/relay). There are separate changing tents for the long and middle distance, where the athletes are only allowed to change.
To avoid unexpected complications, a bike service station will be set up in the transition area. After the swim, athletes will change in the transition tents and pick up their bike. At the respective exits (LD/MD) the athletes are allowed to get on their bikes only behind the transition line. In the same way, after the bike course, when entering the transition area, athletes must dismount before the transition bar. After the bike course the athletes start from here on the run course. The exact routes of the transition area can be found on the map. Registration and EXPO will also take place near the transition area. During the event, follow the route guidance and the support staff.
Note: The bike check-in for all participants will take place at the Bike IN/OUT of the long distance. On race day the Bike IN/OUT of the middle distance will also be open as entrance to the transition area.
CATERING
No fight without food!
On the bike course as well as on the run course there will be 3 aid stations (VP). Among them, athletes can deposit their own food at the special needs stations (for more information see the category Special Needs of the topic Food – Bike/Run ). The following listings and maps represent the exact locations and services offered at the food stations. Food service may only be provided at designated areas. Disposing of items outside of the food and littering areas is not permitted.
SQUEEZY ISO drinks, bars and gels will be handed out by volunteers at all aid stations. Flavors range from Lemon to Raspberry to Peach Orange to Salty Caramel. More helpful information about SQUEEZY as well as basics and myths of sports nutrition can be found here.
