    Athletes from near and far travel to Fuschl am See every year to take on the unique challenge of crossing Lake Fuschlsee armed with nothing more than a wetsuit.

    This event was created in 2013 by the 4**** Roadbike- and Triathlonhotel Jakob in memory of our friend Peter who tragically died in an accident.

    You will be well catered for with the race nutrition from Powerbar, and as the grand finale there will be a large finisher's buffet for all participants.
