Over 4,700 Athletes Take to the Course at Two Official IRONMAN Races in Da Nang

Da Nang's biggest annual endurance sports week reached its peak as its two headline races — VNG IRONMAN Vietnam 2026 and VNG IRONMAN 70.3 Da Nang 2026 — simultaneously got underway on the morning of May 10. More than 4,700 athletes from numerous countries lined up on the course, turning the city's coastline into a true arena of endurance.

IRONMAN is widely regarded as one of the most physically demanding challenges for both amateur and professional athletes, combining a continuous swim, bike, and run leg that totals hundreds of kilometers at the full IRONMAN distance. Da Nang's continued hosting of this event cements the city's reputation as a premier international sports destination in Southeast Asia.

For visitors and locals alike, this is a fantastic opportunity to cheer on competitors along the coastal route — though it's worth noting that certain roads in the race zone will have restricted traffic during the event. The electrifying atmosphere of IRONMAN Week is always one of the standout highlights Da Nang has to offer each race season.
