IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship - France

Unique, Historique, Légendaire

In 2026 the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship continues its rotational format, returning to the incredible destination of Nice, France. As the birthplace of long-distance triathlon in Europe, Nice has built an incredible legacy in the sport of triathlon, and in IRONMAN history, after hosting the 2019 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship, 2023 Men’s IRONMAN World Championship, and 2024 Women’s IRONMAN World Championship triathlons. It celebrates more than 20 years of partnership with IRONMAN and will continue to deliver exceptional, world class experiences.

Athletes will be treated to a Mediterranean playground like no other. Swim in the blue waters of the Côte d’Azur, ride through the storied hinterland of the Alpes Maritimes and run along the Promenade des Anglais amid the throng of cheering crowds. This truly is the world’s stage.
