Register Now!About the Race
Klagshamn Triathlon is a Sprint triathlon — we swim 400 metres, cycle 20 km and run 5 km. The race is a recreational event and every year we have had a great mix of participants ranging from complete beginners to more experienced athletes.
You are very welcome even if this is your first triathlon — we are happy to help! The only requirement is that you are comfortable swimming 400 metres in open, deep water.
Our races are characterised by a great atmosphere and a smaller number of participants where the main goal is to have fun together.
The event holds all necessary permits. All traffic rules must be followed and participation is at your own risk.
Parking is available on nearby streets and is easiest paid via EasyPark. Additional parking can be found at Klagshamnsskolan. The closest parking is along Folketshusvägen.
Organizers
The event is organised by Bunkeflo Klagshamn Triathlon (BKT) with Dennis Jönsson, Eric Österberg and Fredrik Harrysson. If you need to get in touch with us, please email dennis_jonsson@yahoo.com or join the Facebook group "Klagshamn Triathlon".
Course
The swim takes place in the Kalkbrott lake in Klagshamn where we round two buoys. The swim is counter-clockwise with a water start.
The cycle leg follows quiet roads with limited traffic. Please note that all traffic rules must be obeyed.
The run takes place along the scenic Klagshamn quarry with a couple of turning points.
Registration
The registration fee is 200 SEK and is paid at the time of registration which can be done here. Registration is binding and the entry fee is non-refundable. It is however possible to transfer your entry to another participant free of charge, but no later than the day before the race.
History and Hall of Fame
The race started in 2021 as a friends' activity where a group of people set out to do a triathlon together. Then as now, the focus was on having fun, enjoying a great atmosphere and a really good vibe in beautiful surroundings.
The first two years, 2021 and 2022, featured an Olympic Triathlon starting at Klagshamn beach.
