IRONMAN 70.3 Nice 2027
The half distance at Nice, run alongside the full. A warm Mediterranean swim in the Baie des Anges and a finish on the Promenade des Anglais.
56 weeks to race day: base season
Plenty of runway. This far out, the win is a boring, consistent base rhythm: aerobic volume, strength, technique. The structured block starts closer in; what you do now decides how high it can climb.
Building for this one? 70.3 training plan covers the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.
Build my complete road.
Commit to the date and the work gets a shape: your countdown starts, the emails arrive in step with your build, and the app anchors a recovery-led block so the final week lands exactly on race day.
One confirmation email, then the road begins. Registering for the race itself stays with the organiser.
“The half runs alongside the full at Nice, so a group can travel together and pick their distance. Same sea, same Promenade finish, half the day.”
The race
The course
IRONMAN publishes no route file for this leg, so there is no course map to draw from.
One loop off the Plage des Ponchettes in front of the Quai des Etats-Unis. Warm, clear Mediterranean water and a pebble beach entry, which is worth practising in bare feet before race morning.
One loop through the villages behind Nice, and the Col de Vence is the whole story. It is a long, real climb on a half distance course, so the day is decided by how honestly you ride it and how well you descend afterwards.
Two loops along the Promenade des Anglais with aid stations every 1.8km. Flat, hot and completely exposed, so the aid station spacing is not trivia, it is your cooling plan.
Not yet confirmed for this edition: bike elevation gain, cut-off times, water temperature history. We publish these only once they are on the official course page, so check there before you pace off anything here.
