Both courses will have a flat, fast bike course before transitioning for the run which takes place in the city centre of Poznań, where the finish line and Race Village will be located at the MTP Poznań Expo.

Michal Drelich, race director said, “We are glad to add the IRONMAN 70.3 Poznań and 5150 Poznań to our IRONMAN Poland portfolio. It’s another milestone for the modern Polish triathlon scene but also a tribute to its history as the swim will take place in the Lake Kierskie, home to the very first triathlon competition in Poland which was held in 1984. We look forward to a great weekend of racing in Poznań and to stay committed to creating the best possible IRONMAN 70.3 experience for our athletes, partners, the host city and other stakeholders.”
