The world's most iconic endurance race is heading to Kailua-Kona, Hawaii this weekend — get ready for the 2026 Ironman World Championship.
Getting back to its roots, the Ironman World Championship will return to single race-day format for the first time since 2019, with men and women racing together. Athletes will etch their names into triathlon history with the completion of a grueling, 140.6 mile endurance race that includes swimming, biking and running.
Though the World Championship has varied in location, the heart of triathlon remains in Kona. Athletes swim in the crystal waters of Kailua Bay, bike across the rugged volcanic landscapes of the Queen Ka'ahumanu highway, and finish with a sunny run towards the Ali'i Drive finish line.
Get ready for all the action in picturesque Hawaii.
