“Celebrating 40 Editions of Excellence”
For four decades, Triathlon Holten has been more than a race. It is a place where future champions take their first international steps, top athletes compete at the highest level, and amateurs pursue their personal goals, all with thousands of fans, volunteers, and sponsors sharing in the excitement. Each year, Holten welcomes participants and spectators from all over Europe and beyond, enhancing its reputation as one of the most iconic events in the sport and showcasing why Rijssen-Holten is THE outdoor sports community in the Netherlands. For the upcoming edition, there will again be competitions for both amateurs and athletes. Because in 2026, the European Triathlon Premium Cup and Junior Cup Holten are once again awarded to Holten.
Sportsmanship and celebration go hand in hand in Holten
For recreational participants and the public, just like previous editions, both a sporting and festive program are on the schedule for Friday and Saturday. On Friday evening, runners can once again take their place at the start for the 5 or 10-kilometer race. Additionally, the youth triathlon and corporate triathlon are on the program that evening. Saturday is reserved for elite athletes and amateurs who can prepare to swim, bike, and run the 1/8e and standard distance. Both days will be festively concluded with the spectacular opening party on Friday, July 3, and the afterparty on Saturday, July 4.
Stay informed and join in as an athlete or volunteer!
Triathlon Holten is an event that can count on approximately 2500 participants, more than 15,000 visitors, the assistance of over 1050 volunteers, and the support of many “friends of” and sponsors.
