Iron Man
The Iron Man race returns to the city of Louisville on August 25. More than 2,800 athletes from across the nation will compete in this elite physical endurance challenge. The top 50 finishers of the triathlon will qualify for the 2013 Iron Man World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The Iron Man stages at Waterfront Park and is made up of three parts: a 2.4mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run. Athletes venture through Louisville’s scenic areas, Oldham County, and the city of LaGrange. The triathlon ends at Fourth Street Live! Over 12,500 people are expected to descend on Louisville to view or participate in this event. Spectators are welcome to gather along the routes and cheer on the athletes. The swim starts at the Ohio River boat dock near Tumbleweed Restaurant. Swimmers will lap around Towhead Island and finish at Joe’s Crab Shack on the Wharf.
Then the racers will transition onto the Great Lawn of Waterfront Park to pick up their bicycles. They will bike up River Road, cross into Oldham County, loop through the city of LaGrange and back down River Road to the transition spot at Waterfront Park. Then they will start running down Third Street to Southern Parkway passing the University of Louisville and Churchill Downs along the way before heading back downtown. The finish line is at Fourth Street Live! Competitors check in for the event August 22-23. Professional athletes will start the Iron Man at 6:50 am on Sunday and are expected to finish sometime between 3 and 4 pm, with the nonprofessionals arriving over the next few hours. Monday after race day, there is a celebration event for the participants. Awards and the 2013 Iron Man Championship qualifiers are announced.
