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 Reception
Welcome to Big Island! We'll greet you right at the airport with traditional flower leis, cool 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
Of course, we have our own mechanic on site to take care of your bike. And should a major problem arise, we’ll provide you with a replacement bike in an emergency, so that your race is guaranteed.
All shuttles from the program
Our Crew will take you reliably to all programme events, joint training sessions or shopping trips with our shuttles.
Transfer between airport and accommodation
In true style: we'll take you from the airport directly to the hotel in a typical yellow US school bus. Of course, we'll also take care of your luggage and bike. (on Alii Drive and nearby)
Hawi Rides
We'll take you and your bike by bus to Hawi, the turning point of the bike course. From there, you'll cycle 90km back to Kona on the race course. This way you'll get to know the wind conditions and the course. Of course, catering will be provided along the way!
Mythos Run & Mythos Evening
On a group run through the Energy Lab, we’ll feel what makes the Hawaii myth so special. Then, at the Mythos evening afterwards, we'll bring old stories back to life.
Sunset & After-Race Hangouts
Enjoy the Kona spirit away from the race madness. At our Sunset Hangout, we'll get in the mood for the big day together, and after the race, we'll celebrate your finisher stories at the After-Race Hangout.
Training Sessions
We offer group bike rides and runs, as well as a daily shuttle for your morning swim at the pier.
Welcome Gift
You'll get our exclusive Kona travel shirt. The design is custom-made for each trip and is not available for purchase.
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 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.
