CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — IRONMAN says they are making the Scenic City a racing destination for the next 5 years.

This comes as they select Chattanooga as the host city for the 2027 Precision Fuel & Hydration IRONMAN® 70.3® World Championship triathlon on August 28 and 29, 2027.

Held annually, the event expects to welcome 7,000 of the very best professional and age-group triathletes who have secured their starting spot at one of the over 120 qualifying events worldwide.

“Chattanooga has already demonstrated its ability to deliver an exceptional IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship experience,” said Diana Bertsch, Managing Director, IRONMAN North America & World Championship Events. “From its stunningly scenic courses to the overwhelming community engagement, we are thrilled to return in 2027 and once again showcase this iconic destination to a global audience. This expanded partnership reflects our shared commitment to long-term success and continued growth, including the return of professional racing.”

Race week in 2027 will once again bring a full schedule of events to Chattanooga, including the IRONMAN Village, athlete briefings, community activations, and IRONKIDS® races all supported by thousands of local volunteers and partners.
