Elbaman triathlon

National and international Ironman athletes have been competing for years in this extreme and legendary race that winds through the superb and wild landscapes of the Island of Elba, where man battles against nature with his body and both physical and mental endurance. True men and women of steel.

A traditional and unique event in the Italian triathlon scene, crossing some of the most significant views of the Island of Elba, held in September.

A demanding, long, and spectacular challenge, but not impossible, where athletes must pace their energy, and several competitions are planned:

Elbaman - Full distance: 3.8 km swimming, 180 km cycling, 42.2 km running
Elbaman73 - Half distance: 1.9 km swimming, 94 km cycling, 21.1 km running
Kids races

Elbaman participants begin with the 3.8 km swim in the beautiful bay of Marina di Campo. The dawn light subtly illuminating the Elba waters always makes the start a magical moment. After swimming, as in any triathlon, comes the cycling on the classic 180 km route, made up of three loops in the western part of the island. Finally, 42.2 km of running between the picturesque historic village of Marina di Campo and the adjacent pine forest.

Alongside the main event, there is the half distance race, the “half Ironman” with the distances halved.

Also offered is the opportunity to participate in the long relay race for 2 or 3 athletes, who divide the segments and compete in a separate ranking.

The event also includes initiatives for younger participants: the mini-triathlon Elbaman Kids, which every year generates huge excitement among all the young “Ironman” competitors.

At the end, all participants can proudly say: "I am an Elbaman!".
