IRONMAN Vitoria-Gasteiz 2027
A full-distance race in Vitoria-Gasteiz with a lake swim, a 180.2 km bike over two and a half loops and a flat four-loop run through the city centre.
40 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 bike is two and a half loops, so plan your fuelling and pacing around the loop structure. The organiser describes a flat run through the city centre, with crowds on every lap.”
