The answer to this question, as well as the opportunity to participate in one of the most interesting activities in this region, can be found in Nijemci on September 7, when the Triathlon Riss – Rivers and Paths of Srijem takes place, an event that combines sports, education, and environmental conservation.

Triathlon as a call for a healthy life
The nature of Srijem provides perfect conditions for various outdoor activities, and the Triathlon Riss offers a unique opportunity for everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, to engage in a healthy lifestyle. This event, which has been organized for the tenth year in a row, includes three key disciplines: swimming, cycling, and running. In addition to offering an opportunity to participate in sports activities, the triathlon is also a call for environmental preservation, which is further emphasized by the ecological action of cleaning the Bosut River, held the day before the main event.

Forest, river, and fields: the heart of Srijem
The natural beauty of Srijem, including the Spačva Forest, the largest pedunculate oak forest in this part of Europe, and the calm Bosut, provide the perfect backdrop for this event. The competition begins in the Arboretum Park, located in the center of Nijemci, where participants start with swimming in the Bosut. This is followed by cycling through the picturesque streets of Nijemci and Donje Novo Selo, and ends with running in the industrial zone of Nijemci. All three disciplines are adapted to accommodate different age groups, and the entire event exudes a sense of community and love for nature.

Health Fair: more than just sports
In addition to sports activities, visitors will also be able to participate in the Health, Sports, and Beauty Fair, which takes place alongside the triathlon. Numerous exhibitors will present the latest information on a healthy lifestyle, sports trends, and beauty treatments. Special guest Mario Valentić will give a lecture on spinal health, with practical advice and training for women "HealthyFIT". The fair is designed as a place where visitors will not only learn more about health but also apply the acquired knowledge in practice.

Activities for the whole family
The organizers have not forgotten the youngest participants. They have prepared a children's race adapted to all age groups, as well as creative workshops led by the Vinkovci Swimming Club.
