Lotto Triathlon Energy Chełmża 2026

If you’re looking for a race with an incredible atmosphere, where the whole town lives and breathes triathlon, Lotto Triathlon Energy in Chełmża is a bullseye! It’s one of those stops on the series map that runners and triathletes remember most fondly for its exceptional hospitality and a brilliantly planned course.

Swimming in Lake Chełmżyńskie (one of the largest and cleanest in the Chełmno Lake District) is pure pleasure, and the bike and run course lets you post some truly solid results.

Chełmża has its unique Gothic character and a few places worth visiting after you leave the finisher zone:

Cathedral Basilica of the Holy Trinity: A powerful Gothic church right on the lakeshore. Its silhouette dominates the city skyline and makes a huge impression—especially when you pass it during the running leg ⛪.

Boulevard of Blessed Fr. Stefan Wincenty Frelichowski: The restored waterfront is the perfect spot for a recovery walk. You can sit on a bench, look out over the lake’s surface, and analyze your split times 🌊.

Water Tower: A distinctive landmark of the town and a great example of historic industrial architecture 🗼.

A culinary “power-up”: While you’re in this part of the country, be sure to try the local baked goods. If you have time, hop over to nearby Toruń (only about 20 km!) for original gingerbread, the best carbohydrate fuel in the world 🍪.

Chełmża is a triathlon “classic” that proves smaller towns can put on a world-class event with their heart in their hands … ✨ See you on the bridge in Chełmża! 🏁
