Category : Sport Events, Published on

On September 20, 2026, Nice will once again host the prestigious VinFast IRONMAN World Championship. This historic edition is exclusively dedicated to female athletes, attracting the world's top triathletes and thousands of fans to experience the thrill of this demanding race on the French Riviera.

Located in the heart of the Riviera, Nice offers a dream setting for this legendary event: the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean, the mountains of the hinterland, and the iconic Promenade des Anglais. For participants and their supporters, it is the perfect opportunity to combine high-level competition with the famous Nice "art de vivre."

What is the IRONMAN World Championship (Women's Edition)?

The IRONMAN World Championship is the ultimate event in long-distance triathlon. Featuring a 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike ride, and a 42.2 km marathon, it is the supreme challenge.

In 2026, Nice becomes the global center for women's triathlon (while the men's event takes place in Kona, Hawaii). More than 2,000 elite athletes and tens of thousands of supporters are expected for this exceptional day.

The IRONMAN Nice 2026 Course

  • Swimming: The start will be given at dawn in the Baie des Anges. The calm September waters and the view of the Nice hills offer a majestic backdrop for the 3.8 km swim.

  • Cycling: A 180 km route through the Nice hinterland. This course is renowned as one of the most demanding in the world, featuring technical climbs and breathtaking panoramas of the Alpes-Maritimes.

  • Running: The final marathon takes place over several loops on the Promenade des Anglais. This is where the atmosphere reaches its peak, fueled by the cheers of spectators all the way to the finish line.
