The IRONMAN World Championship is the event every elite triathlete wants to win, but first they have to make sure they are among the qualifiers.

Historically held in Kailua-Kona, on the west coast of Hawaii Island (‘The Big Island’), the race brings together the very best long-distance triathletes on the planet to compete for the coveted title.

In 2023, the men and women’s races were split between two venues, with Lucy Charles-Barclay winning in Kona and Sam Laidlow taking the title in Nice, France. This year, the men will race in Kona with the women competing in Nice.
