Race Leipzig on your terms.
Cospudener See promises a calm place to begin. Leipzig's new 70.3 should then be a race about keeping your rhythm, not chasing a number across every road out of the lake district. There is one important detail to settle before choosing targets: the actual bike distance.

The course behind your race
The lake is straightforward. The bike distance isn't yet.
An August 2027 race is planned around Cospudener See, with cycling through the Leipzig lake district and running back towards the city. The detailed bike and run map is still incomplete. Start with an effort you can sustain, but make sure your predicted split uses the correct course distance.
Leipzig New Lake District, bike opening
Use sustainable power without assuming 90 km
Ride the fast roads at your planned effort and stay patient through the technical sections.
Brake early. Fuel early.
Leipzig-region bike, later stage
Keep fuelling while the actual distance remains unsettled
Use the open sections to settle before the three-loop run.
Keep cadence light. Finish planned nutrition.
Leipzig Sportforum, prior run lead
Begin the run gently if the venue is retained
Let the first pass through the Sportforum feel controlled rather than urgent.
Easy first aid station. Check posture.
Leipzig half-marathon finish, route pending
Make the last effort only on a verified course
Only progress when form has held through two full laps.
Stay tall. Choose the last move late.
What to check in race week
Confirm whether the final bike is 87 or 90 km; current event descriptions disagree. Check the official course file, lake buoys, transitions, Sportforum run turns and aid before using the forecast as a precise race-day target.
