Congratulations on your Ironman Hawaii Qualification!
You've qualified for the Ironman Hawaii?
You've done the hard part. You've qualified for the World Championship in Hawaii. You've invested months and fought for your Slot on the start line in Kailua-Kona. Now you can concentrate on what really counts: your race in the Pacific and on the Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway.
We at Hannes Hawaii Tours have got your back. With over 30 years of experience, we organise your Hawaii trip to suit you – individually, flexibly and completely self-determined.

OUR IRONMAN HAWAII SERVICE
We select every hotel in our portfolio with an athlete's eye. This means first-class equipment for you, the right atmosphere on site, and an environment that pushes you.
Airport Pick-Up
Welcome to Big Island! We'll meet you right at the airport with traditional flower leis, refreshing drinks, and the entire HHT Crew on site.
Race Seminar
To make sure you’re fully prepared for race day: In our exclusive race seminar, we’ll get you ready for the unique challenges of Kona. We’ll walk you through the entire course in detail, offer valuable tips on pacing, nutrition, and wind tactics, and share our decades of experience in Hawaii with you.
Mechanic Service
We've got our own mechanic on site to look after your bike. And if a bigger issue pops up, we'll even provide a spare bike in an emergency to make sure your race is secured.
All shuttles in the program
Our Crew will reliably shuttle you to all program activities, group training sessions, or for shopping.
Transfer between airport and accommodation
In true style: We'll pick you up from the airport and take you straight to your hotel in a classic yellow US school bus. And of course, we'll handle your luggage and bike too. (on Alii Drive and in the surrounding area)
Hawi Rides
We’ll take you and your bike by bus to Hawi, the turnaround point of the bike course. From there, you’ll ride 90 km back to Kona along the race course. This will give you a chance to get to know the wind conditions and the course. Of course, we’ll provide food and drinks along the way!
Myth Run & Myth Evening
As we run together through the Energy Lab, we get a sense of what makes Hawaii so legendary. At the Mythos Evening that follows, we’ll bring old stories back to life.
Sunset & After-Race Hangouts
Enjoy the Kona spirit away from the race hustle. At our Sunset Hangout, we'll get pumped up for the big day together, and after the race, we'll celebrate your finisher stories at the After-Race Hangout.
Training Sessions
We offer you group bike rides and running sessions, as well as a daily shuttle for morning swims at the pier.
Participant Gift
You'll get our exclusive Kona Race Shirt. The design is custom-made for each trip and you can't buy it anywhere else.
Feel-Free Luggage Service
While you extend your Hawaii experience on another island after the race, we'll keep your luggage (and bike) safe and bring it to the airport in time for your flight back to Europe.

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.
