ITU World Triathlon Series Hamburg
Hamburg, Germany, July 21–22
Germans are triathlon-crazy, and nowhere is this more apparent than at the ITU World Triathlon Series race in Hamburg. With 10,000 age-groupers and an estimated 250,000 spectators, the race has a reputation for being wild, raucous and a whole lot of fun. Many ITU pros say it’s their favorite event.
