On June 29, 2025, the city of Frankfurt, Germany will host the men’s IRONMAN European Championship triathlon. As one of the oldest races on the international IRONMAN circuit, the city will once again welcome a world class professional field, made up of three IRONMAN World Champions, the full 2024 IRONMAN World Championship podium, and last year’s IRONMAN Frankfurt European Championship podium.
The Mainova IRONMAN Frankfurt European Championship is a men’s professional race only. Athletes will battle for a piece of the US$87,500 prize purse, a maximum of 5,000 points towards IRONMAN® Pro Series standings and the title of IRONMAN European Champion. The race will also offer five qualifying slots to the 2025 IRONMAN World Championship triathlon in Nice, France.
The event can be viewed live in person and will be broadcast across multiple platforms for viewers around the world, for free, including proseries.ironman.com, Outside TV for US and Canada viewers, DAZN and L’Equipe in France, iQIYI and YouTube among others.
Wearing bib number one will be defending IRONMAN European Champion Kristian Blummenfelt (NOR) who last year set a course best time (07:27:21) just two weeks after competing in the Paris 2024 Olympics, cementing his status as one of the best all-round triathletes.
Three-time and reigning IRONMAN World Champion, Patrick Lange (DEU) is also hoping to make his return to racing after an injury. 2022 IRONMAN World Champion and two-time IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion Gustav Iden (NOR) will also continue his season in Frankfurt, and the newest threat on the Norwegian train, Casper Stornes, will also be toeing the start-line.
Others in the mix include Magnus Ditlev (DNK), Cameron Wurf (AUS), Jonas Schomburg (DEU), Gregory Barnaby (ITA), Rudy Von Berg (USA), as well as Paul Schuster, Jonas Hoffman, Leonad Arnold, and Finn Große-freese who make up a strong German contingent.
