IRONMAN Barranquilla
IRONMAN 70.3 Barranquilla is on 4 April 2027 on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, where the Magdalena river reaches the sea. Standard half distance across a coastal city better known for its carnival than for endurance racing.
April is after carnival season, so you get the city without the crowds and without carnival pricing on accommodation. You also get the heat unfiltered. This is a low-lying tropical port a few degrees off the equator, and the humidity does not break for a morning race, so the 21.1 km run is the leg that will define your day.
Barranquilla is less set up for visiting athletes than Cartagena, two hours west along the coast, and some athletes base themselves there and travel in. That is a real trade: cheaper and more interesting in Barranquilla, easier logistics in Cartagena.
