Live Tracking & Results → 🌐 Official Website →The Alufar IRONMAN 70.3 Baku triathlon takes place on Saturday, September 5, 2026, in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan and the largest city on the Caspian Sea. This inaugural edition marks the first-ever IRONMAN 70.3 race held in the country, adding Baku — a city famed for blending ancient landmarks like the 12th-century Maiden Tower with bold modern architecture such as the Flame Towers — to the global IRONMAN 70.3 circuit.
Somewhat unusually for a 70.3 event, the race features a midday start, finishing with a Saturday evening concert in downtown Baku. Average race-day temperatures sit around 21-26°C. The 1.9 km swim is a single loop off Baku's striking Caspian Sea shoreline, starting at the Pre-Start Area and finishing near the Athlete Garden in a protected, generally calm bay. The 90 km bike leg covers two loops through Baku and beyond, with marked turns every 10 km and a total elevation gain of 863 m, mixing cityscape riding with open northern Azerbaijani roads.
The 21.1 km run is a three-loop city-centre course that takes in part of Old Town Baku and runs alongside stretches of the Baku Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit near the waterfront, before a spectacular finish on the iconic Baku Boulevard. Live tracking and results: RTRT.
