IronMan 70.3 Tours métropole - Loire Valley 2026

Ironman 70.3 Tours Metropole - Loire Valley is a middle-distance triathlon in Tours, in the Indre-et-Loire department of France. The race is scheduled for mid-June and follows the standard 70.3 format: a 1,900 m swim, a 90 km bike leg, and a 21.1 km run. Athletes may register as individuals or as relay teams, with the stated fee identical for both options. The race is part of the Ironman 70.3 series, meaning it is half the distance of a full Ironman but remains a substantial test of endurance across three disciplines. The course details indicate Tours and the Loire Valley as the location, rather than specifying particular roads or landmarks. This suggests a city-and-valley half-Ironman designed for dedicated age-group triathletes, relay teams, and athletes using this distance as preparation for full Ironman events.
