The Story
Ironman Mexico is the same race as Ironman Cozumel — the island venue off the Yucatán Peninsula. See the Cozumel entry for the full story of Caribbean swimming, flat laps, and tropical heat that defines this race. The Mexican hospitality, the post-race tacos, and the crystal-clear Caribbean water make this one of the most popular Ironman races in the Americas.
"Cozumel is Mexico's gift to triathlon. Warm water, flat roads, and the best post-race food in the sport."
What It Feels Like
Mexico/Cozumel is the accessible Ironman — flat, warm, fast, and surrounded by Mexican hospitality.

Three flat laps around the island. Wind is the only variable.
