27 weeks to race day: base season
Plenty of runway. This far out, the win is a boring, consistent base rhythm: aerobic volume, strength, technique. The structured block starts closer in; what you do now decides how high it can climb.
Building for this one? Ironman 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 complete road.
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 flat toll-road loops can encourage an early overreach. Hold the planned effort, fuel to schedule and protect the three-lap marathon rather than treating the bike profile as permission to chase time.”

The course
No course maps for this race. IRONMAN publishes no downloadable route for any leg of this race, so there is nothing to draw a course map from. Everything below comes from the official course page, checked on the date at the foot of this section.
Point to point from North Shore Park through Lake Woodlands, with the final section in the canal before the exit at Town Green Park.
Out through The Woodlands into northern Harris County, followed by two loops on the Hardy Toll Road before returning to transition.
Three laps around Lake Woodlands, finishing on Waterway Avenue. Check the current athlete guide for the final route and access details.
