The ancient fishing village of Cervia hosts the first Made-in-Italy IRONMAN, a spectacular race that takes place along the coastal Emilia-Romagna region flanked by the Adriatic Sea. Swim, bike and run through Emilia-Romagna's historic scenery.
Athletes will start their race on the beach of Cervia. The swim course will consist of one loop of 3,8 km, which includes an "Australian exit" – a quick shore leave between two portions of the swim course – after approximately 2,5 km. The two-loop bike course of 180,2 km starts on the promenade of Cervia and moves through the hills of Romagna. Athletes then head through the picturesque natural park of Salt Pans, where pink flamingos can be seen in their natural habitat. Next, it runs through the vineyards of famous Sangiovese and follows the “street of wine and taste” of Romagna. After passing the top of the hill in Bertinoro, the course descends back to Cervia. The total elevation gain of the bike is about 700 m. Athletes will finish their race on a flat three-loop 42,2 km run course. After reaching the port canal, the course continues through the main streets of the nearby Milano Marittima. Athletes then enter the heart of Cervia and cross the square of the historic and iconic "salt warehouse" before reaching the finish line on the beach promenade.
