In 2026, Alghero is preparing to host a highly significant international sporting event: the Ironman 70.3 Alghero, scheduled for Sunday, June 7, 2026.

The Ironman circuit is today one of the most important brands in the world of endurance sports: in 2023 it held over 170 official races in more than 50 countries, attracting hundreds of thousands of participants and millions of live and online spectators. With its new event in Alghero, Sardinia thus firmly establishes itself among the top destinations for international triathlon.
Alghero, the new capital of international triathlon
The arrival of the Ironman 70.3 in Alghero is no coincidence: the Catalan city of Sardinia has already demonstrated its sporting vocation by hosting, in May 2025, a stage of the World Triathlon Championship Series, one of the most prestigious competitions in the world. On that occasion, the greatest champions of the triathlon world competed, establishing Alghero as one of the new European capitals of this sport.
With the 2026 event, the international triathlon calendar further strengthens Alghero’s position as a strategic destination for athletes, teams, and enthusiasts, capable of offering excellent infrastructure, unique scenery, and world-class hospitality.
