Check out the debut of IRONMAN Italy

On a weekend which saw a couple of brand new, full distance events debut in Europe, Saturday saw the first edition of IRONMAN Italy Emilia Romagna.

Won by Great Britain’s Lucy Gossage (full report HERE), the event has had plenty of positive feedback over the weekend. Located in the heart of some very popular cycling country on the the Emilia-Romagna cost in Cervia, close to Cesanatico, the race provides very easy access from across Europe.
