About this race
Cape Irago sets the tone: an ocean swim around Coconut Beach Irago, followed by a demanding triathlon that earns its blunt label, a "superhuman race." The 39th Triathlon Irago, held annually since 1987, attracts both professionals and dedicated age-group athletes, giving the field a serious competitive edge without being exclusive.
The bike course traverses Irago, Nishiyama, Nakayama, and Konakayama, characterized by significant elevation changes. The run follows the Tahara-Toyohashi Cycling Road, also known as the Atsumi Cycling Road, concluding at Irago Port Greenery Park. Overcoming the climbs reveals "breathtaking scenery awaiting you from the top is unforgettable." Families and spectators contribute to the atmosphere, with "spectacular spots to watch the competitions" and cheer on the "men and women grinding through them."
