In addition to the pros, the IRONMAN European Championship Hamburg triathlon will also see over 2,800 registered age group participants compete alongside the professional athletes, in the hope of securing one of the age-group qualifying slots to the 2024 VinFast IRONMAN World Championship triathlon in Nice, France (women), or Kona, Hawai`i (men).
The race, which sold out in record time for this year’s edition, is a fan-favourite thanks to its city-centre location, flat and fast bike and run course and strong spectator support.
Athletes will take on a 3.8km (2.4 mile) long ROKA swim course in the Inner and Out Alster lake, with calm and smooth conditions. They will then embark on the 178km (110.6 mile) bike course, which consists of two loops, passing by some of the best sights such as the Reeperbahn, the fish market and the UNESCO-listed Speicherstadt out into the Vier-und Marschlande.
The four-loop 42.2 km (26.2 mile) HOKA run course is the crowning finale with an fan-led atmosphere in downtown Hamburg.
