IRONMAN World Championship Kona

Kona – Where Champions Race
In 2023 the VinFast IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i will host the very best female professional and age group triathletes from around the world. (The men’s race wil be held in Nice.) Their 140.6-mile journey will present the ultimate test of body, mind and spirit. Through decades of stellar athlete achievements, inspirational participants and emotional performances, the IRONMAN World Championship has etched a reputation as the pinnacle of the triathlon landscape and an iconic global sporting event. In 2023 we take our next step in World Championship evolution, by shining a spotlight on women racing in Kona, while the men’s Championship event is hosted on new ground.

The historic ‘Kona’ course will take athletes through the clear waters of Kailua Bay, along the wind-swept coast, and through the barren lava fields of the Island of Hawai`i, providing a unique setting for the ultimate test of strength, grit and heart.

In the midst of our lives, find the light within and the magic that makes our souls soar. Treasure the spirit of aloha within yourself and others as you choose hope, have faith and keep moving forward.
