The worldwide Ironman race series will be stopping off in Leipzig for the first time next year. In the Saxon trade fair city, triathletes will be able to compete over half the Ironman distance: 1.9 kilometers of swimming, 90 kilometers of cycling and 21.1 kilometers of running.
In 2022, there was an Ironman70.3 in the state capital of Dresden. However, after some problems, the collaboration was not continued.
The race in the home city of former 70.3 world champion Rico Bogen, former 70.3 European champion Caroline Pohle and two-time Paralympics winner Martin Schulz is scheduled for 23 August.
