The first edition of IRONMAN Tallinn took place recently in the beautiful Estonian city. With Estonia also having hosted the ETU Sprint Distance European Championships in Tartu and the IRONMAN 70.3 Otepää, the country is fast becoming a popular triathlon destination.

We have a photo gallery from the event and more details looking ahead to next year. Something to consider for 2019, perhaps?


IRONMAN Tallinn next year will take place on 3rd August 2019. Check out the RACE WEBSITE for course details and more.

Registration opens soon, so save the date as Tallinn looks like a great destination to experience an IRONMAN event. From the UK there are plenty of affordable flights so it could be a fun weekend away!

  • 1075 individual and 56 relay team finishers
  • 52 countries represented
  • 40 slots to IRONMAN Hawaii awarded to athletes from Estonia, Finland, Russia, Poland, Japan, Great Britain and more
