IRONMAN Pro Series heading to IRONMAN 70.3 European Championship Tallinn in Estonia

The IRONMAN Pro Series is in Europe for its next stop, as around 100 professional triathletes are expected at the IRONMAN 70.3 European Championship Tallinn, Estonia, triathlon on Sunday, August 25, 2024.

As one of the final stops on the circuit before the VinFast IRONMAN World Championship races in Nice (women) and Kailua-Kona (men), elite athletes will look to rack up IRONMAN Pro Series points.

As well as the title of IRONMAN 70.3 European Champion, athletes in Tallinn will be competing for a total prize purse of US$75,000 with the male and female professional winner taking home US$12,000 each, and a maximum of 2,500 IRONMAN Pro Series points.

The race will be broadcast for free across multiple platforms for international viewers including proseries.ironman.com, Outside TV, DAZN, L’Équipe in France, and YouTube among others.

Alongside the professional athletes, approaching 2,000 age-groupers will battle it out to earn age-group qualifying slots for the 2025 VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship triathlon in Marbella, Spain.

All athletes will take on a 1.2-mile (1.9km) swim around Lake Harku, before embarking on a two-loop 56-mile (90km) scenic bike course which boasts a mix of city and countryside through the southern villages of Tallinn. The 13.1-mile (21.1km) two lap run course is flat and fast as athletes run along Tallinn Bay and Stroomi beach, finishing in front of the Rocca al Mare Shopping Centre in Tallinn.

Taking place the day before will be the IRONMAN Tallinn triathlon which is an age-group only race, and expects to welcome nearly 1,000 athletes. It will also be the first race of the year to offer 2025 IRONMAN World Championship triathlons in Nice (men) and Kailua-Kona (women) qualifying slots.
