IRONMAN Maastricht - Limburg

3,86 km + 180,2 km + 42,2 km

The athletes take on a very difficult course: 3.8 kilometers of swimming in the river Meuse followed by 180 km cycling through the hills of Dutch and Belgian Limburg. Finally there’s the 42.2 km of running through the historical city center of Maastricht. Start, finish and transfer-zone are located in that town. 

 Athletes joining IRONMAN Maastricht-Limburg will start their race at “St. Servaasbrug”, The Netherlands’ oldest street bridge, as they set out on a 3.8 km (2.4-mile) spectator-friendly swim course in the Maas River. Athletes then transition onto the newly designed 180 km (112-mile) bike course that leads along various beautiful hotspots in the South of Limburg. With a few small climbs and some straight roads, this bike course offers the best of both worlds. The final 42.2 km (26-mile) run course provides athletes with an unforgettable experience as they run through the historic city center and pass famous Maastricht city sites like “Onze Lieve Vrouweplein” and the cobblestones streets of “het Vrijthof”. Finally, athletes will be greeted by a red-carpet finish line moment as they cross the line in the city’s historic square, “de Markt”.
