About the race

Käringsund Triathlon has been arranged since 2009. From the beginning, the core idea of the triathlon race was to create an event to suit everyone and in which the range of distances would invite everyone to participate. Young and old alike and more and less trained can participate and experience the fantastic sportsmanship the triathlon can offer.
The main organizer of the event is Åland Event, in cooperation with Åland Triathlon Club and Käringsund Resort & Conference.

The Käringsund Triathlon is a fun two-day event  where Friday traditionally is devoted to relay which this year is accompanied by an individual short supersprint! Saturday is dedicated to all the other individual starts that belong to the Käringsund Triathlon!
Last year’s change of the Käringsunds relay is maintained and it continues to be a short supersprint (200m swimming, 6km cycling and 2km running) where the team chooses if all three participants do all the components (competition) or if each team participant performs part of the relay (Fun & Joy, open class). This year an individual short supersprint will also be held for both young people (competition, boys/girls13-15) and adults (open class) on Friday!
Everyone who participates in an individual start on Saturday can participate in Friday’s distances free of charge!

The relay race is an excellent opportunity for companies to bring their staff to scenic Käringsund for the competition. Those who don’t participate in the race can support their workmates by cheering on them. What about a dinner together afterwards?!  Various sports teams can playfully vary their training by participating in the triathlon relay.  The relay can also be a nice getaway with friends – combine the race with a relaxing weekend at Åland! There are many possibilities!

Saturday is a real family day and offers a combination of playful and almost rule-free competition (open classes at all distances) and serious race in olympic- and halfdistance triathlon and in the sprint with international rules. Thereto there are both kids- and toddlers races and Käringsund Aquathlon Special which is meant for children and adults who have some form of mental retardation or special needs. In Aquathlon participants swim and run, no biking. In Aquathlon you first swim with the equipment you need and then you run (or go by bike, wheelchair) … the possibilities are many!
Käringsund Open Water, which was introduced in 2020 will also be one this year’s distances!

Käringsund Triathlon is a spectator-friendly event with a unique opportunity to follow the start, finish and transitions comfortably from the terrace. In addition to the competitions there is entertainment during the day, and on Friday evening there is a pasta party and on Saturday evening it’s time to enjoy the season’s final dinner!
