IRONMAN Campeche
IRONMAN 70.3 Campeche is on 8 November 2026, run from the seafront of a walled colonial city on the Gulf of Mexico. Gulf swim, flat 90 km bike, and a 21.1 km run along the malecón towards the old town.
Campeche is quiet next to the Caribbean-side Mexican races, and the old town sits close enough to transition that most of race week can be done on foot. The bike roads are wide and open.
Open is also the catch. There is very little shelter on that coast, so a windy morning turns a flat course into a grind, and November still brings Gulf humidity to the run.
Getting there means a connection through Mexico City or roughly two and a half hours in a car from Mérida, which is a fair part of why this race stays smaller than its neighbours.
