2017 KPR starts for some Sunday at Ironman Vichy

Saturday 27 August 2016
IRONMAN racing in a historic French spa town. IRONMAN Vichy and IRONMAN 70.3 Vichy hope to become the largest gathering of long-distance triathletes in the world in the next three years.

Athletes will swim in the beautiful Lake Allier, using the rowing race infrastructure to guide themselves through the course. The easy bike course in the country heads through the regions of Allier and Puy-de-dome, with exceptional views of the Chaine des Volcans d’Auvergne. The day ends with a run course on the shores of Lac d'Allier and through historical Vichy, where hundreds of spectators will line the course to cheer the athletes to the finish.

All the activities for IRONMAN Vichy will be located at the Centre Omnisports Pierre Coulon (registration, expo, transition area, the pasta party, the awards ceremony, the swim start, the finish line and the food court), making this an ideal venue for spectators.

IRONMAN Vichy 2016 offers 40 qualifying slots for the 2017 IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, HI.

Professionals compete for P-2000 KPR points and $25,000 prize purse.
