Now it is becoming the first to host an IRONMAN event. “Kazakhstan was the first of the CIS countries to host an IRONMAN 70.3 event. “This IRONMAN race has it all – a beautiful racecourse bridging the modern city of Astana and the seemingly endless Steppe landscape, a welcoming host city and nation, and a team dedicated to making this any athlete’s best race experience,” said Managing Director Alexey Sidorenko. Finally, they will finish their race at the Triathlon Park of Astana, an area built for and loved by cyclists and triathletes alike. The flat and fast 180,2 km (112 mile) bike course on recently re-surfaced asphalt roads is perfect for athletes of all abilities as they get to enjoy views of the breathtaking architectural marvels on the riverbank, before they make their way out into the Steppe landscape surrounding the city.Īthletes then transition onto the 42,2 km (26,2 mile) run course that leads through several parks in the heart of the city. With an average temperature of 18 to 22 degrees Celsius (64,5 to 72 Fahrenheit) and slow flow rate, participants can expect fast swim times. What race director Alexey Sidorenko and his team have achieved in such a short period of time is nothing short of impressive,” said Stefan Petschnig, Managing Director IRONMAN Europe, Middle East and Africa.Īthletes will start their race with a jump from a pontoon platform on the water into the Ishim River to tackle the 3,8 km (2.4 mile) swim course. Kazakhstan and the city of Nur-Sultan have proven that they are more than ready for a full-distance IRONMAN event. Today, we couldn’t be happier to add a second race in a country which has welcomed our athletes with arms wide open. “In 2018 we ventured into new territory by founding BI GROUP IRONMAN 70.3 Astana. Nur-Sultan is also the home to the “Nur Alem” Expo 2017 pavilion, the “Bayterek” tower and the “Duman” Oceanarium. Among them is the “Khan Shatyr” shopping and entertainment center design by world-famous architect Norman Foster. With the help of renowned international architects, the city has been turned into a 21st century architectural marvel with most of the new buildings on the left bank of the Ishim river. Kazakhstan and its capital Nur-Sultan (also known as Astana) have undergone a rapid transformation since its independence in 1991. Kazakhstan is the world’s ninth largest country located in Eastern Europe and Western Asia, making it one of the few transcontinental countries in the world. Both races will take place on August 23, 2020.
