“We are so excited to be named as the host city for the Ironman 70.3 European Championship in 2023 and 2024,” said Tallinn Race Director Ain–Alar Juhanson. “Our race has grown in popularity amongst a local and international audience, with this year over 60% of athletes traveling from further afield to race in Estonia. This is a unique experience for athletes to race in capital city and experience everything Tallinn has to offer.” Estonia’s first Ironman race in 2016 was in Otepää before moving to Tallinn in 2022, which hosts both a 70.3 and regular Ironman event. In 2020, Tallinn was the first city to host an IRONMAN event following the Covid-19 pandemic. The 70.3 championship will start at Lake Harku before the bike course takes athletes through the city and countryside and back to Tallinn. Lastly, athletes will take a two-lap run course through the historic old town of Tallinn. “With international transport links, a city rich in culture and history, as well as a growing athlete base, Tallinn is the perfect host venue for the Ironman 70.3 European Championship,” said Declan Byrne, vice president of operations for Europe, Middle East & Africa at The Ironman Group. “The race has gone from success to success over the years, and has proved to be an athlete favorite on the European race circuit. We’re excited for athletes to experience the electric atmosphere that comes with racing in a capital city, and want to thank the city of Tallinn, Ain-Alar Juhanson and the local organizing team, for their continued support and efforts in producing a memorable race experience year on year.” Tallinn, Estonia, has been announced as the next host of the IRONMAN 70.3 European Championship, with the capital city set to host the event in 2023 and 2024. Since 2017, the Championships have been held in
Elsinore, Denmark, but will move northeast over the Baltic Sea for next year’s edition on 6 August. The route begins with a one-lap swim in Lake Harku before the athletes embark on the bike course, which heads south through the towns and villages on the capital’s outskirts before coming back into T2 at the Seaplane Harbour. Finally, the run course will
be two laps of the historic old town of Tallinn, a registered UNESCO World Heritage site, before finishing along the bay where they started. Tallinn has hosted both an IRONMAN and an IRONMAN 70.3 recently, with age-group athletes racing having the chance to get a glimpse of what the city has to offer. Fond memories for MatthewsAnd 70.3 Tallinn in 2020 also marked the first professional win of Britain’s Kat Matthews, who this year has finished runner-up in the IRONMAN World Championship as well as triumph at Sub8. Race director Ain-Alar Juhanson said: “We are so excited to be named as the host city for the IRONMAN 70.3 European Championship in 2023 and 2024. Our race has grown in popularity amongst a local and international audience, with over 60% of athletes travelling from further afield to race in Estonia this year.” The race will also offer slots for the 2024 VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships in Taupo, New Zealand, which will be an added incentive.

What is a respectable Ironman time?Since the Ironman is a grueling race, anything under the 17 hour cut off mark is an achievement. For those in the age group of 30-35, 13 hours for men and 14 hours for women are satisfactory. The same applies to the Ironman 70.3 series. For the age group of 35-39, a good time is six hours for men and seven for women.
