L'ÉTAPE Competitors

IRONMAN Estonia has been organizing events under the IRONMAN brand in Estonia since 2016. The first IRONMAN-branded event in Estonia took place in 2016 with IRONMAN 70.3 Otepää. In 2018, the first full-distance triathlon, IRONMAN Tallinn, was held in the capital city, Tallinn. Since 2020, both the 70.3 and full-distance triathlons have taken place in Tallinn. In 2017, IRONMAN 70.3 Otepää was voted one of the best IRONMAN events in the world by participants (along with Sydney). In 2020, we hosted the first IRONMAN event globally after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
