Organisers of Ironman Western Australia have announced that the event is set to host the IM Asia-Pacific Championship in 2025 and 2026.

The 2024 event returns to Busselton on Sunday 1 December, with athletes from across Australia and around the world to test themselves on the course.

In 2025 and 2026 athletes across all age-groups will be racing for Asia-Pacific Championship titles, with the regional championship also an added incentive for the top professional athletes in the sport to head to Western Australia.

Athletes racing at Ironman Western Australia will take on a 3.8km swim, 180km ride and 42.2km run, with the event celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

Carl Smith, The IM Group Regional Director, said that the team was excited to be hosting the IM Asia-Pacific Championship in Western Australia for two years from 2025.

“Ironman Western Australia is a bucket list race for our athletes, and we love bringing them and their supporters from around the world to the region each year, allowing them to experience an incredible race in an outstanding location,” said Smith. “By hosting the Asia-Pacific Championship in 2025 and 2026 athletes will be racing for a key regional championship, bringing additional prestige to an event that is already held in such high regard.”
