The uniqueness of the IRONMAN K\u00e4rnten-Klagenfurt is not only characterised by the extremely high sporting level, but also by the incomparable scenery offered to the participants. The Carinthian summer shows its best side to enthusiastic fans and athletes year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the traditional gunshot, the swim starts at Strandbad Klagenfurt in the turquoise waters of Lake W\u00f6rthersee. After 3.8 kilometres of swimming and a sprint to the finish through the Lendkanal waterway, it\u2019s onto the saddles. The cycle route then covers 180 kilometres through picturesque villages and beautiful countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The race culminates in a marathon which, with refreshment stations at regular intervals along the way, also leads through Klagenfurt\u2019s old town, providing the IRONMAN with unique southern charm. The entire experience is enhanced by a cheering, enthusiastic crowd who welcome the athletes back to where it all began: at the charming W\u00f6rthersee lakeside lido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
