The city of Lahti plays host to Finland's first ever IRONMAN 70.3. Lahti is one of the leading event cities in Finland and the gateway to the Finnish Lake District. The city is located less than an hour from Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport by car. Once you arrive in the city, everything is within walking distance.
A unique element of this race is its start time at 4 p.m. The finish line will be open until midnight, where, regardless of your finish time, it will still be bright and all athletes will get to witness the nordic midnight sun.
Sport has always been a big part of Lahti's identity. Due to their exceptional tradition of hosting international sporting events, the city is used to the spotlight. The city is also known internationally for its environmental and design expertise, along with high-quality cultural services. Yearly, thousands of music lovers beyond genres gather in Lahti Sibelius Hall and other venues, indoor and outdoor.
Nokian Tyres IRONMAN 70.3 Finland offers 60 slots for the 2019 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Nice, France.
