The historical city of Hradec Králové will host the IRONMAN 70.3 event in the Czech Republic. One of the most beautiful cities in the county, that loves not only triathlon, but all sports in general, is like a book of architecture. Dozens of towers and pinnacles, churches and municipal mansions, city walls and niches will be your playground.

Every stroke will be followed by thousands of spectators along the entire swimming section and you will feel like a real star here. Gently rolling and lovely countryside of the Eastern Bohemia will lead you through your cycling part and the confluence of two city rivers, Labe and Orlice, will guide you through your last Ironman 70.3 steps towards the final, festive stretch to the finish line on the historical Masaryk square.
