The Schwerin Triathlon took place at and around Schwerin Castle, positioning the swim-bike-run event next to the city's most recognizable landmark. Schwerin had been a triathlon venue for many years, and the organizers aimed to maintain that local tradition in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's state capital.
The race can no longer be held in Schwerin due to excessive costs. Micha and Dennis Kruse, the organizing team, have redirected their efforts to the Reformhaus "longer healthy life" Zarrentin Triathlon and invited past participants to support the new event there.
