IRONMAN Elsinore
Elsinore's 70.3 puts you in the harbour at Helsingør for 1,900 m, at the narrowest point of the Øresund with Sweden visible across the water, then out for 90 km along the north Sealand coast and back for a 21.1 km run that circles Kronborg castle.
The castle is not a marketing line. The run genuinely goes around the fortress that Shakespeare used for Hamlet, on cobbles and ramparts, which is memorable and also uneven underfoot at the point in the day when your ankles are least interested.
The coastal bike is fast and exposed. Wind off the sound is the usual limiter rather than gradient, and the Danish water in late June is bracing enough that the wetsuit is not a debate.
Access is simple: Copenhagen airport connects to Helsingør by direct train in under an hour, so you can stay in the city and travel out.
