Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Texas

April 27/THE WOODLANDS – Named the best run course in North America and the #3 IRONMAN overall in North America by participants, this triathlon is incredible for athletes and spectators. The course leads athletes along a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and 26.2-mile run throughout The Woodlands and its surrounding areas.

The race starts with a swim that takes place in Lake Woodlands and ends with a run entirely within The Woodlands that concludes with a finish along the picturesque Woodlands Waterway across The Waterway Avenue Bridge. The run course is very lively, especially in “Hippie Hollow”, where spectators dress up, play music, and energize runners to the finish line by cheering them on. Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Texas is free for spectators to attend.
