This year's triathlon was the last event of its kind in Schweinrich and Eichenfelde. Thomas Behrendt, the previous chairman of the Eichenfelde village association, will leave the club in a few days for personal reasons. At a club assembly it was decided that the triathlon will no longer be continued because no successor for the organization could be found. The effort for the event has been greater in recent years, as many helpers needed and high financial expenses had to be made. Despite initially low number of registrations, the triathlon could be carried out this year thanks to the announcement of the last event.

participants and visitors regretted the farewell to the Eichenfeld triathlon. The triathlete David Stephanek from Wittenberge emphasized how a shame it was that there will be no more regional event. The triathlon was accompanied by a beach volleyball tournament and ended with a beach party in the evening.
