IRONMAN Valencia
IRONMAN 70.3 Valencia is on 18 April 2027, with a Mediterranean swim off the city beach, a rolling 90 km bike inland, and a flat 21.1 km run finishing in the city.
Valencia has built a reputation on fast running, and the flat run course is the reason athletes look at this one for a personal best. The bike is the part that does not match the reputation: it rolls once you leave the coastal plain, so the numbers you plan for on a flat course will not hold.
Mid-April water in the Mediterranean is still cold. It is a wetsuit swim, and if you have been training indoors all winter, that first ten minutes deserves respect.
Valencia is one of the easiest European races to reach, with budget flights from across the continent, a compact centre, and enough restaurants near transition that race week does not need a car.
