Kailua-Kona Events

In 2024 the VinFast IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i will host the very best male professional and age group triathletes from around the world. Their 140.6-mile/ 226km journey will present the ultimate test of body, mind and spirit: The historic KONA® race will take athletes through the clear waters of Kailua Bay, along the wind-swept coast, and through the barren lava fields of the Island of Hawai`i, where strength, grit, and heart must be summoned to navigate challenging race conditions, and Island heat. Through 40+ years of stellar athletic prowess, emotional performances and inspiring achievements, the IRONMAN World Championship has etched a reputation as the pinnacle of the triathlon landscape and an iconic global sporting event. In 2024, the men return to the KONA® race to show the world that "Anything is Possible!"
