Ain-Alar Juhanson, IRONMAN 70.3 Tallinn Race Director, said: “We are so excited to be named as the host city for the IRONMAN 70.3 European Championship in 2023 and 2024. Our race has grown in popularity amongst a local and international audience, with this year over 60% of athletes travelling from further afield to race in Estonia. We’ve also been pleased to welcome some of Europe’s top pros over the years – from Sebastian Kienle, Daniel Bækkegård, and Kat Matthews, helping to put Tallinn on the map as international destination for IRONMAN racing. This is a unique experience for athletes to race in capital city and experience everything Tallinn has to offer.” Estonia has hosted the IRONMAN 70.3 race since 2016, with the inaugural race taking place in Otepää, in the south of the country.
