Ironman breaks with the largest triathlon tradition because of the corona pandemic.
After another postponement, the world championship over 3.86 kilometers swimming, 180.2 kilometers cycling and 42.2 kilometers running will not take place in Hawaii for the first time.
The legendary competition, which actually takes place in October on the Pacific island and had already been postponed to February next year, will now take place on May 7th in St. George, Utah.

In addition, the World Cup, which is regularly planned for 2022, will not be held on one day when you return to Kailua-Kona at the beginning of October, unlike otherwise.
The women's race, with a larger than usual field, is due to start on October 6th, and the men's two days later.
