Cozumel is your perfect season finale right in the Caribbean. The long journey by plane, bus, and ferry will be richly rewarded in the end, because in Cozumel, the IRONMAN Mexico awaits you.
The race kicks off on November 22, 2026. The swim takes place in crystal-clear ocean water, often with current assistance. The bike course (three loops) is flat, as is the run course.
The weather conditions (wind, humidity) will determine your race times. Both water and air temperatures are around 27°; humidity is about 70%. This also makes Cozumel a perfect vacation destination for companions!

Cozumel will blow you away! Hannes has been leading this Race Trip for 15 years and knows exactly what matters. From your arrival and our hotel to the race courses, tourist highlights, and even the little insider tips. Our goal is YOUR perfect vacation, YOUR perfect race!
OUR SERVICE
Our Crew is right there with you, taking all your worries, big and small, off your shoulders. From Booking to arrival and, of course, on-site! You decide what you need: flights, accommodation, race service – everything is bookable individually. Prices depend on the room category and the level of support. This way you stay flexible and tailor your trip to Cozumel exactly to your needs. Beyond the athletic preparation, we also offer additional services upon request – from rental cars to an individual extension of your trip.
FLIGHT
We're happy to book the right flight for you. For our 11-day group Race Trip, we typically use our flight partner Condor (flight price approx. EUR 960, as of 02/2026). Alternatively, we can also arrange individual connections with Lufthansa or Edelweiss/Swiss. Feeder flights from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland to Frankfurt are also available upon request. If you want more comfort, we're happy to inquire about upgrades like Comfort Class, Premium Economy, or Business Class for you at daily rates.

A major advantage of our trip: the complete transfer from Cancún airport to your accommodation on Cozumel — including the ferry for you and your bike — is already included in the trip price. This applies even if you book your own flight. In that case, simply let us know your flight number and arrival time. Please note that the last ferry to Cozumel departs at 22:00.
BIKE TRANSPORT
We'll take care of planning the transport of your bike as sports luggage, of course - but you must register it with us in advance. The costs are calculated per route and vary depending on the airline (as of 03/25): Condor from EUR 100 (up to 30 kg), Lufthansa EUR 250, and Edelweiss Air offers free transport up to 23 kg. The general baggage guidelines, e.g. with Condor 1x hand luggage (8 kg) and 1x checked baggage (20 kg), must be agreed directly with the respective airline.
