Ironman Emilia Romagna Italy

IRONMAN CERVIA | TriGer 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️

A weekend where dreams meet grit! Saturday hosts the Full Ironman, Sunday brings the 70.3 and 5150 distances. This is more than a race. It’s a tapestry of human stories, raw perseverance, and unbreakable spirit.

We met unbelievable athletes, from first-timers to seasoned champions, each with their reason to show up. Cervia’s beauty never disappoints. The Adriatic sea, historic salt pans, pine forests, and medieval walls become the backdrop for moments of triumph and struggle.

As Italy’s first “made-in-Italy” full IRONMAN, Cervia blends tradition, coastal charm, and top-tier racing.

The 70.3 route glides through rolling countryside and Cervia’s historic heart, with one of the longest transition areas in the region.

The 5150 race gives everyone a chance, 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run, all on flat, scenic roads.
IRONMAN

And behind every split time and finish line, there’s heart, sacrifice, and courage.

Thank you to all the athletes who let us tell their story.

Special thanks to and all partners supporting TriGer in bringing this vision to life.

It’s really nice and cold. Paul, guy who needs no introduction. the one who also helped me on my first Iron Man when I had my doubts. It was in 2018 in Rappersville and now we meet here again. And how many Iron Man have you done? I absolutely lost the count. Too many. Too many. Paul, thanks so much for taking the time to talk with us. I just wanted to ask you Iron Man chair here Italy. What can you say about this amazing iron man? Well, firstly, it’s a great venue if it’s your first triathlon because you have choices. You can do the 5150 which is an Olympic distance. You can do the 70.3 and you can do the full distance. And because it’s such a big festival, because it’s so many people, you get that amazing ambience, you know. So, I think I think it’s a fantastic venue and it’s a very wellorganized race. Yeah. And there’s always pizza and pasta. The best pizza, the best pasta. Did you have any words or any advices for first timers or any athletes doing this race on this weekend or maybe next year? I think for me it’s really simple. The most important thing I remind people of at the moment is remember your why because everybody has got their story. Everybody’s got their thing that got them off the couch, that got them out of bed, that gets them out the door. And when you on a loop course like this, it’s so easy to just step off the course and go to your hotel. I say no. Remember your why. because your why gets you to the finish line. And one last thing, uh, after so many years saying the magic words, do you dream about the magic words sometimes when you go when you go home after such a long day? I don’t feel I’m repeating it. You know, it’s not like I’m saying you are an Iron Man. You are an Iron Man. I mean, I do it thousands of times every weekend, but for the person you say it to, every time you say it to them, you can see how important it is for them. And that in itself is my motivation to always say because I know it makes a difference. The best part about my job is I get to see people changing their lives. I get to see 3,000 people when they they get to the finish line, they realize they have all those doubts of can I can I can I will I when they get to the finish line, they realize I can and I did. And that is so life-changing and and that is what motivates me. So the fact that I say the word so many times, no, it’s not stuck in my dreams because every time it’s like the first time because every time is important. It’s not about me, it’s about we. And for us, it’s an honor and a privilege to be given the platform to do what we do. And if it wasn’t for athletes, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. And so, uh, our job is to celebrate the incredible stories and the incredible why of every athlete that races. And that’s what fuels us and that’s how we can survive a 12, 15, 17, 22, 23-hour day because it’s about you, not about me. Thank you so much for everything that you guys are doing for us. And uh we I I really look forward to see you at the finish line and hear the magic words again and give you a hug and celebrate after and maybe get some pizza together. Thank you so much. Good luck and don’t forget your why. Bamos. [Music] You ready? I’m ready. Are you ready, guys? [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] We are ready. Are you ready? Oh, yeah. Definitely. 1 second. 1 second. Heat.
