What this race demands

IRONMAN Wisconsin demands sustained pacing across a 226 km triathlon covering a 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike with 1672 m of elevation gain, and a 42.2 km run.

Aerobic endurance

The full-distance format requires efficient pacing over many hours to sustain output from the swim through the final miles of the marathon.

Bike climbing strength

Run durability
