IRONMAN Vietnam and IRONMAN 70.3 Da Nang are among the most anticipated annual sporting events in the city. These events are jointly organized by the Da Nang Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the Sunrise Events Vietnam.

Following the success of the 2026 editions, IRONMAN Vietnam and IRONMAN 70.3 Da Nang in 2027 will once again be held concurrently on May 9.

IRONMAN Vietnam 2027 will challenge athletes with the full-distance course, comprising a 3.8km swim, a 180km bike ride and a 42km run.

The grueling journey requires participants to maintain exceptional endurance, follow a scientifically sound nutrition strategy, recover quickly and demonstrate mental toughness throughout a race that can last up to 17 consecutive hours.

The 2027 edition will also mark the second consecutive year that the prestigious event has chosen Da Nang as its host destination.
