Military triathletes from different countries of the world will travel to Lanzarote to compete in the IRONMAN, representing their different nationalities by teams.
These soldiers will carry out the same route as the other triathletes, but will have their own classification.
44 Slots for Kona in Play
In addition, this edition of IRONMAN Lanzarote will award 44 places for the Triathlon World Championship that will take place in Hawaii on October 9.
Of those 44 places, 40 will be destined for age groups and 4 for professional triathletes. Each age group will have at least one guaranteed place for the legendary Kona event.
The event will be held under strict preventive and health measures, included in the COVID-19 protocol approved by the organization and the competent authorities.
