IRONMAN Peru
IRONMAN 70.3 Peru is on 25 April 2027, racing along the Pacific edge of Lima with a flat 90 km bike and a flat 21.1 km run.
The setting is the unusual part. Lima sits on cliffs above the ocean, and the Costa Verde road at the base of them gives a fast, closed, sea-level course with the city stacked above you.
The Pacific here is the thing to prepare for. This is cold water off the Humboldt current, not the warm Caribbean swimming of the other South American races on this calendar, and the temperature surprises people who assumed a Peruvian coastline would be tropical.
Late April is the end of the Lima summer, before the grey coastal fog that sits over the city for most of the winter. Lima is a major hub with direct flights from North America and Europe, and it is one of the best cities in the world to eat in while recovering.
