Ironman in Calella

Ironman 70.3 Calella, Barcelona

The Ironman is a triathlon , that is, it is a race that combines swimming, cycling and running.

Training to tackle these three disciplines with solvency and participate in a triathlon is already a challenge in itself, but the Ironman is reserved, as its name suggests, for iron women and men.

The Ironman emerged in 1978 in Hawaii, when John Collins, in search of the iron man, proposed to combine the 3 most demanding tests that existed on the island, the Waikiki Roughwater Swim (4 km), the Around-Oahu Bike Race cycling (180 km) and the Marathon of Honolulu (42,195 km).
