Louisville - IRONMAN.com. Since it was first held in Louisville, Kentucky in 2007, this race quickly became a signature event for the charm-filled city. This quintessential race provides athletes and spectators with numerous entertainment, dining and recreational opportunities, and is the last qualifying event for the IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, HI. Steeped in American history and part of the country's historic Bluegrass region, Louisville is home to stately Victorian mansions and a vibrant urban parks system. In recent years, it's attracted a thriving indie music scene, and families vacationing to the city will find plenty of free summer concerts and festivals along the famous Waterfront Park.
Athletes begin their day with a rolling swim start, a unique feature for a full-distance IRONMAN and a welcome one for anyone nervous about the typical mass start. After finishing the bike, athletes only have one thing separating them from their memorable finish: 26.2 miles of flat running. Kmatt318's Training Calendar.
