IRONMAN Türkiye
Belek hosts IRONMAN 70.3 Türkiye on 1 November 2026, on the Mediterranean coast east of Antalya. Flat bike, flat run, sea swim.
Early November is the reason the race sits here. The sea is still holding summer temperature and the air is mild, so this is one of the last half-distance races in Europe that needs no cold-water planning at all. Antalya airport is about 40 kilometres away and Belek is a resort strip built around golf courses and large hotels, which usually means you can stay within a short ride of transition.
A flat 90 km sounds like a gift and races like a trap. Nothing in the terrain forces you to sit up and recover, so the effort you spend on the bike is entirely your own decision, and the 21.1 km run is where a bad one shows up.
