IRONMAN 70.3 Campeche 2026
A 70.3 at Campeche on the Gulf of Mexico: a swim at Bonita Beach, a bike out along the Mérida Highway and a three-loop run along the Malecón and downtown.
5 weeks to race day: the sharpening window
A full build no longer fits, but a sharp one does. This close in, the job is specificity and freshness: race-pace touches, open-water or brick rehearsal, and a taper your nervous system actually absorbs. No heroics; arrive fresh.
Building for this one? 70.3 training plan covers the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.
Build my pacing and preparation plan.
Commit to the date and the work gets a shape: your countdown starts, the emails arrive in step with your build, and the app anchors a recovery-led block so the final week lands exactly on race day.
One confirmation email, then the road begins. Registering for the race itself stays with the organiser.
“The run is three flat, fast loops along the waterfront and downtown, so lap-by-lap pacing suits it. The organiser gives no bike profile, so check the route map.”
