A Late-Season Destination Race in Paradise
Cozumel is not only a beach-goer’s paradise, it’s also a seasoned IRONMAN host city. Off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, the area has over 14 miles of reefs for exploring, plus archaeological ruins, a national park, and endless expanses of turquoise water and white sandy beaches.
Swim
The swimming stage of IRONMAN Cozumel is one of the most spectacular in the world. The great visibility of water and the huge amount of underwater life that accompanies the athletes throughout the course, turns this stage into one unforgettable experience.
Bike
Athletes will do 3 laps around the island to complete the 180 kms (112 miles) of the bike course. The route covers amazing Oceanside roads, the great hotel zone and a bit fo the city, This fast and beautiful route guarantees an exciting bike stage, ideal for those who want an IRONMAN PR.
Run
The run course is flat and passes through many of Cozumel’s signature sites, including it’s waterfront walk, downtown main plaza and historic neighborhoods. Hundreds of spectators cover the sidewalks to watch and cheer for the athletes to give their best until they reach the finish line, which is located at the City Hall plaza in downtown Cozumel.

I’m glad I chose this as my 1st Ironman course as it was as flat as a course could get. The heat and humidity were the most challenging factors of the course. The Ironman race is put on by the company called Asdeport and honestly the expo could be a lot better, offering more quality items. It is very colorful merchandise that you probably won’t find at any other Ironman event. The finisher medal this year was terrible, if you hadn’t been to Cozumel before and visited the lighthouse from the medal and finisher shirt you probably have no idea what they are referencing, not really a medal I care to show off, I also had one that the engraving was smudged. I will say though that the age group awards were amazing and I’m glad I was able to take one of the home, a giant hand crafted M dot! Swim was fast, you could see all the way to the bottom, pretty sure it was also so fast because it was not the full distance, bike course is 3 hot loops of the island, a blessing to ride right next to the ocean, and the run was just miserable, I don’t think these courses should have more than 2 loops but the island is so small I dont think they have any other choice. Atleast the crowd and locals had great energy and I got to see my support squad 3 times!
