The 2024 VinFast IRONMAN World Championship in Nice kicked off with a 2.4-mile (3.8km) ROKA Swim Course, which took place in the blue Mediterranean waters of Baie des Anges. Athletes then embarked on the scenic and challenging 112-mile (180.2km) FULGAZ® Bike Course through the hinterland of Nice via the beautiful hillside villages. Athletes enjoyed the picturesque views of the Alpes-Maritimes region on the ascent and then had an opportunity to take in Clues de Gréolières on their descent. Along with stunning coastline, and charming villages, the course featured challenging climbs and technical descents with elevation gains of up to 7,900 ft. (2400 meters). The four-loop 26.2-mile (42.2km) HOKA Run Course spanned end-to-end of the iconic Promenade des Anglais, passing alongside the famous beach clubs, the Chaises Bleues (blue chairs), and the monumental Negresco Hotel, all with the Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop. With each loop, competitors experienced the energy of the crowd as they tackled the flat, fast run course, and pushed their limits culminating in a World Class finish line experience.
