ABOUT THE START
IRONSTAR is the largest triathlon series in Russia. Every year, about 10 thousand athletes start in unique locations, test their strength, travel to interesting places and get charged with the energy of new achievements.
To overcome oneself — this meaning has always attracted people with an ambitious character. They are looking for new challenges to test their capabilities. And the more difficult the path, the more emotions at the finish. The opportunity to prove that you can do more awakens drive and motivation.
IRONSTAR festivals are always a great party! Thousands of successful and energized people gather in one place. They communicate with friends, make new acquaintances, find business partners, compete in races and make plans for future starts.
