About the Event

An IRONMAN is one of the toughest events in the world and will test you like nothing else. The IRONMAN consists of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile cycle and a 26.2 mile run. An IRONMAN 70.3 is made up of a 1.2 mile swim, a 56 mile cycle and a 13.1 mile run. Both distances are designed to test you to the limit.

Book your place directly with IRONMAN, then register with Team #WishHero. Fundraise a target of £1,600 and we'll reimburse your fee!
