Ironman 70.3 ALGHERO 2027

Head to the sublime region of Sardinia, along the historic, sun-drenched shores of the city of Alghero 🇮🇹. The generous menu features the legendary Ironman 70.3 format, an ultimate endurance challenge made for modern gladiators. Your body will have to string together without flinching 1.9 km of swimming in crystal-clear water, 90 km of cycling on a very hilly coastal course swept by the sea breeze, and finally finish the job with 21.1 km of running along the old ramparts 🏃‍♂️.

The effort instantly launches you into an adventure with many faces. After hauling yourself out of the turquoise waters of the bay, the tarmac takes you winding through the heart of the magnificent Nurra region. You’ll have to tame long, twitchy straightaways and demanding little rises while skirting the majestic headland of Capo Caccia 🚴‍♂️. The immersion becomes utterly magical during the final half-marathon: your strides guide you along the sumptuous seafront promenade and at the foot of Alghero’s stone walls, affectionately nicknamed the "little Barcelona" because of its fascinating Catalan heritage 🏰.

Sardinian fervor transforms the alleyways of the old town into a true open-air arena. Forget silent finishes in the middle of nowhere; here, the local tifoseria and holidaymakers pack along the harbor to cheer you on loudly at every aid station, literally carrying you toward the mythical red carpet of the finish line 📣.

Keep a serious appetite to do justice to fabulous Sardinian cuisine once your finisher medal is around your neck. Carry your exhausted body to a trattoria to devour a luxurious Aragosta alla Catalana or treat yourself to delicious Seadas, those irresistible cheese fritters drizzled with honey 🦞. Raise a toast to your feat with a glass of full-bodied Cannonau red wine 🍷. Then take your loved ones to explore the spectacular Neptune’s Grotto, accessible via a dizzying staircase carved into the cliffside. Switch on your iron will and come etch your name into the sand of Sardinia! 💥
