OUR IRONMAN HAWAII SERVICE
We select every hotel in our portfolio with an athlete's eye. That means for you: first-class equipment, the right atmosphere on site and an environment that pushes you.
Airport welcome
Welcome to Big Island! We greet you right at the airport with leis (traditional flower garlands), cold drinks and the entire HHT team on the ground.
Airport-to-accommodation transfer
(on Alii Drive and the surrounding area)
In style: we take you straight from the airport to your hotel in the iconic yellow American school bus. We take care of your luggage and bike too, of course.
Welcome gift
You receive our exclusive Kona t-shirt. The design is created individually for each trip and is not available to buy.
Mechanical service
We have our own mechanic on the ground to look after your bike. And if there's a bigger problem, we provide a replacement bike in an emergency so your race is never in jeopardy.
All shuttles included
Our team reliably takes you in our shuttles to all programme events, group training sessions and shopping trips.
Training sessions
We offer group bike rides and run sessions as well as a daily shuttle for the morning swim at the Pier.
Rides to Hawi
We take you and your bike by bus to Hawi, the turnaround point on the bike course. From there, you ride 90 km back to Kona along the actual race route. This gives you a real feel for the wind conditions and the course. Nutrition support along the way is of course included!
Race seminar
So no question goes unanswered on race day: at our exclusive race seminar, we prepare you thoroughly for everything Kona throws at you. We cover the entire course in detail, give you invaluable tips on pacing, nutrition and wind tactics, and share our decades of experience in Hawaii with you.
Hangouts (sunset get-togethers and post-race gatherings)
Soak up the Kona spirit away from all the race-week buzz. At our Sunset Hangout we get in the zone together ahead of the big day – and after the race, we celebrate your finisher stories at the After-Race Hangout.
Myth run & evening event
On a group run through the Energy Lab, we experience what makes Hawaii a legend. At the Myth Hawaii evening that follows, we share the stories that created it.
"Feel-Free" luggage service
While you extend your Hawaii experience on another island after the race, we store your luggage (and bike) and bring it to the airport in time for your return flight to Europe.

The Kona Myth
The Ironman Hawaii isn't just a competition – it's the origin. Since its premiere in 1978, the race on Big Island has become the most prestigious competition in the world. A trip to Kona is the ultimate goal for every triathlete – whether as an active starter or as part of the community on the sidelines.
The Hard-Facts about Ironman Hawaii:
-
Exclusive Field of Participants: Every year, around 90,000 athletes worldwide try to qualify for this event. Only the top 2% get a Slot for the island.
-
The Magical Distance: 3.8 km swimming in the Pacific, 180 km cycling through the lava desert and 42.2 km running to the legendary finish arch on Alii Drive.
-
Merciless Elements: The infamous Mumuku winds on the Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway and temperatures well over 30 degrees make Kona arguably the most challenging race in triathlon.
-
Historical Ground: From the first starting gun at the pier to the Energy Lab – every meter of the course has already written history. Triathlon icons like Dave Scott or Jan Frodeno became legends here.
Kona is unpredictable and magical at the same time. Whether you are already qualified or want to secure your place in the HHT Crew in advance: We make it possible for you to have an Ironman Race Trip where you can fully concentrate on the myth of Hawaii.
