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.
In collaboration with National Sporting Organisations (NSOs), the National Institute Network and partners, the AIS strives to identify and solve strategic problems on the frontiers of ethical sporting performance.
Originally built around a centralised Canberra campus in 1981, the AIS is evolving and expanding its reach. The modern AIS is mobile and agile, helping athletes and sports to get the right services, support and expertise. The AIS campus in Canberra will continue to hold its place as a driver of national pride and inspiration through an ongoing commitment to deliver on sport priorities.
We have partnered with the National Institute Network, which already provide high-class facilities, expertise and service delivery across the country. This partnership enables the AIS to focus on areas that make it unique and that can give Australian sport a competitive edge.
