Biathlon Germany Tour and City Biathlon Events in 2025

Biathlon competition set for October 5 in Eicken, third city to host event

The Biathlon Germany Tour, now in its seventh year, is gearing up for an exciting 2025 season. The tour, which is the world's largest mass biathlon event, will feature over 100,000 participants and around 20,000 competitors across more than 250 stages.

One of the highlights of the tour is the City Biathlon Dresden, scheduled for August 31, 2025. This urban biathlon event will take place in a football stadium in Dresden and will include qualification races, finals, and para-biathlon relays.

While the Biathlon World Cup season will start on November 29, 2025, in Östersund, Sweden, the Biathlon Germany Tour events are distinct from these World Cup stops. The tour's focus in 2025 is to provide a biathlon experience for newcomers, offering guided practice, spontaneous competitions, and city championship relays.

Registration Process for 2025 Season

Specific registration details for Biathlon Germany Tour events or the City Biathlon Dresden in 2025 are not yet available. Typically, urban biathlon events like the City Biathlon Dresden invite or qualify participants through national teams or via pre-qualification races on the event day itself, especially in show and celebrity races. For World Cup events and major IBU competitions, athletes must be part of their national teams and qualify through respective national biathlon federations or trial races.

Biathlon Event at Eicken Market Square, Mönchengladbach

There is currently no official information about a Biathlon event at Eicken Market Square in Mönchengladbach for the 2025 season. This may suggest that it is not a part of the official Biathlon Germany Tour schedule for 2025 or it is a separate, smaller, or newly initiated local biathlon event without broad international coverage.

However, the Biathlon Tour has been invited by the Eicken Interest Group to set up its mobile biathlon arena on Eicken Market Square. On Sunday, October 5, 2025, the Biathlon Tour will be set up on Eicken Market Square in Mönchengladbach. Bremer's inMOTION agency will provide original biathlon rifles equipped with infrared technology for anyone aged 12 and up to try out. The event on Eicken Market Square will determine the best biathletes in Mönchengladbach in individual and team competitions.
