IRONMAN Israel Middle East Championship 2023 Opens for Registration

Following the success of last year's competition, the Ironman – Israel Middle East Championship triathlon competition will be held for the second year running in Israel, on 3 November 2023. The event will take place in the northern city of Tiberias, along the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Registration is now open.

Ironman – Israel Middle East Championship is a regional competition that took place in Israel last year for the first of time, and is one of five IRONMAN championship events held around the world. Competitors from the UAE, Bahrain, Jordan and other neighboring countries are once again expected to take part in the competition.

A record number of professional participants are expected, all of whom are aiming to break Patrick Lange's record of 7:40:00 on this super-fast IRONMAN course.

The Ironman contest is seen as the most prestigious triathlon competition in the world. It includes three sections: swimming, cycling, and running. There are no breaks, and the participants have a time limit to finish each section of the competition, making it both a highly physical and mental challenge.

As part of the Ironman in Tiberias there will be two races:

Full Ironman including 3.8 kilometers of swimming in the Kinneret, 180 kilometers of cycling and 42.2 kilometers of running.

Ironman 70.3 race including 1.8 kilometers of swimming in the Kinneret, 90 kilometers of cycling, and 21.1 kilometers of running.

The competition is organized by the Comtec Group and the Sylvan Adams Foundation, in partnership with the Ministry of Culture and Sport, the Ministry of Tourism, the World Triathlon and the Tiberias Municipality.
