IRONMAN 70.3 Alcúdia-Mallorca 2027

Swimming in the sheltered waters of Alcúdia Bay, crossing the Serra de Tramuntana by bike and finishing with a run by the sea: IRONMAN 70.3 Alcúdia-Mallorca is one of the largest middle-distance triathlons in Europe. It is also one of the big dates on the IRONMAN world calendar. General information: - The 2027 edition takes place on Saturday 2027-05-08 in Port d'Alcúdia, in northern Mallorca. - It has been held since 2011, when it drew 1,857 triathletes.

Why it is special: - The swim in Alcúdia Bay is one of the friendliest on the circuit, ideal for first-timers at the distance. - The bike leg crosses the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with legendary climbs such as Coll de Femenia and Coll de sa Batalla. - The run is flat and fast, with canals, bridges and views over the bay. - Top professionals take part; in 2024 there were about 80, including Gustav Iden, Patrick Lange and Laura Philipp. - The atmosphere is huge in Pollença, Campanet, Sa Pobla and on the Canal Estany Gran bridge.

Bib pickup: bib collection and bike check-in take place in the days before the race at the IRONMAN Village in Port d'Alcúdia, according to the athlete guide.
