Bike training on the original course of the annual Raiffeisen triathlon in Hamm (Sieg). Test your performance on a nearly 5-kilometer loop. You can ride this varied course with any bike, whether road bike, mountain bike, or e-bike. But it’s best to ride clockwise; then you won’t have to turn left even once, which is safer. The fastest participants complete the three laps with 200 meters of elevation gain each in less than 28 minutes. How much can you manage? Get cycling; we're eager to see your results!
