LCW Peaks Maastricht Swim

LCW Peaks Maastricht Swim is the open-water chapter of Long Course Weekend Netherlands — a race weekend where athletes build their own program across swim, bike, and run. Set in South Limburg, this swim stands out from the classic flat Netherlands backdrop: you’ll race in calm lakes surrounded by rolling green hills, with Maastricht just minutes away.

The vibe is international by nature — Belgium and Germany are right next door — and the atmosphere feels more like a festival of endurance than a single start line. Choose a distance that matches your goal, enjoy a well-supported open-water experience, then spend the rest of the day in Maastricht’s historic center with its cafés, cobbled streets, and post-race energy.

Go for the swim only, or make it part of the full Long Course Weekend challenge and turn one race into an entire three-day sporting getaway.
