The cult status of the long-distance triathlon doesn’t come from just anywhere. Four cantons, three Alpine passes, two lakes, one finish. 226 kilometres and 5575 metres in altitude. From the palm trees of Ticino to the imposing backdrop of the Eiger, M\u00f6nch and Jungfrau, this is the challenging course that makes the SWISSMAN an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

With its impressive route through the Swiss Alps, the SWISSMAN offers a challenging adventure against a picturesque backdrop. Athletes who take on this challenge will push themselves to their limits and leave with unforgettable memories. The first step to participation is registration. Who ultimately gets one of the 250 starting numbers is decided by lot. A good pinch of luck is required: Every year, around 1,000 people from up to 70 nations apply to take part in the SWISSMAN Xtreme Triathlon.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The fact that the SWISSMAN is organised without official timekeeping has been clear since the first edition. The focus is on the experience, not the time. A principle that continues right through to the allocation of the limited starting places. In keeping with Swissman tradition, registration is not about being as fast as possible. Athletes who have not been allocated a place in the past will be given preferential consideration in this year’s draw. The number of tickets in the pot is automatically multiplied by the number of unsuccessful registrations from previous years. This means that the chances of getting a starting place increase with each additional registration.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn contrast to participating in the SWISSMAN as an athlete or supporter, participation as a crew member is open to all interested parties. The dedicated crew members form the heart of the SWISSMAN and make a significant contribution to the success of the event. Volunteers who help with various tasks – from registration to transition zones to finish line support – from 19 to 22 June 2025 are invaluable. Anyone interested in becoming part of the crew can email mail@suixtri.com<\/a> directly.\r\n\r\nThe SWISSMANS organisation team is looking forward to numerous registrations and a successful get-together in summer 2025.\r\n\r\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
