Road closures
On Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 June 2026, the 32nd Zytturm Triathlon will take place on Landsgemeindeplatz in Zug. Schoolchildren, teenagers, teams, beginners and ambitious triathletes will compete in the three disciplines of swimming, cycling and running. A total of around 1,000 participants are expected, and over 250 volunteers will be on hand. The event is one of the most popular triathlon events in Switzerland. The organising committee would be very grateful if you too – alongside the authorities, police, sponsors, etc. – would support this major undertaking. We want this national event to be a positive experience for all participants. To achieve this, we are also relying on your understanding as residents living along the cycling and/or running routes.
