IRONMAN Panama
IRONMAN 70.3 Panama is on 28 February 2027, with a bay swim, a flat 90 km bike along the coast, and a 21.1 km run through the city.
Panama City is one of the few races on this calendar where the skyline is the course scenery. The Cinta Costera seafront gives long straight sections with a view of the towers on one side and the Pacific on the other, and it makes for a fast, simple race to navigate.
The climate is the honest caveat. Panama sits close to the equator and February is inside the dry season, but that means sun rather than relief: the humidity is high all year and there is very little shade on a coastal course.
Getting there is easy. Tocumen is a major hub with direct flights from across the Americas and Europe, and it sits under an hour from the centre of the city.
