Lake Constance Challenge

One competition. Four races.

The Challenge goes round the lake. Since 2023 the KWB has hosted the Bregenz race, so all three neighbouring countries are part of it.

The course

The long course runs about 10 kilometres from Bregenz towards Hard and takes around two hours. For a shorter race, turn at the 5 kilometre buoy.

Singles are scored in the classes surfski, K1, SUP and OC 1, women and men.
