IRONMAN Buenos Aires Palermo
IRONMAN 70.3 Buenos Aires races in Palermo on 4 October 2026: a 1.9 km swim in the park lake, 90 km on flat closed roads, and a 21.1 km run through the city's green district.
Racing inside Buenos Aires is the appeal. The swim is still, shallow park water with no current and no surf, transition sits in the park itself, and the whole event is walkable from the neighbourhoods most visitors stay in.
October is spring in Argentina, which gives you mild mornings and a warm, dry afternoon rather than the heat that would make this course unpleasant two months later.
Two practical notes for anyone travelling in. The bike is genuinely flat, so it rewards a position you can hold for 90 km rather than any climbing legs. And Argentina's currency and card situation changes often enough that it is worth checking how you will actually pay for things in the week before you fly.
