Live Tracking → 🌐 Official Website →For over 10 years, IRONMAN Maryland has brought together the community known as Crabby Nation in the historic Eastern Shore town of Cambridge, Maryland. The 2026 edition takes place on Saturday, September 19, part of the VinFast IRONMAN North America Series.
Athletes bask in the sunrise at Gerry Boyle Park before a 2.4-mile swim in the brackish tidal waters of the Choptank River. The two-lap, non-technical 112-mile bike course then takes riders into rural Dorchester County and through the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, home to one of the highest concentrations of nesting bald eagles on the Atlantic Coast — flatter than flat, with less than 500 feet of elevation gain, and voted the #1 Best Bike Course in North America by athletes.
The final 26.2-mile marathon winds through downtown Cambridge, cheered on by thousands of supporters, before finishing along the historic Long Wharf with a Chesapeake Bay Lighthouse backdrop. IRONMAN Maryland offers age-group qualifying slots for the IRONMAN World Championship. Live tracking: rtrt.me.
