This year’s race has come to its glorious end and the date for the next edition of the Plava Laguna Ironman 70.3 Poreč, Istria, Croatia – the biggest triathlon in Croatia and this part of Europe – has been already set. On 15 October 2023, Poreč and Plava Laguna will once again host this exciting sporting event. Registration will be opening on 9 November 2022 at https://www.ironman.com/im703-croatia.

In October 2022, the Plava Laguna Ironman 70.3 Poreč, Istria, Croatia has seen its inaugural edition, which was a huge success. More than a thousand competitors from all over the world together with their families and team members enjoyed an exciting weekend of nice weather, high spirits and sportsmanship.

Paul Loiseaux from France, winner of the Plava Laguna Ironman 70.3 Poreč, Istria, Croatia 2022, said: “The location is beautiful, the swimming conditions excellent and the roads are safe for cycling. Although scenic, the running course following the coastline is more challenging in the first and last kilometres. Excellent organisation and many supporters cheering on the competitors are an additional confidence boost. Poreč is a beautiful race and a lovely town, which I recommend to anyone thinking of applying next year!”

In addition to the accessible and attractive course, all athletes and their entourage will be provided with on-site accommodation in the Plava Laguna apartments and hotels, as well as anything they might need for a weekend of sports by the sea in Istria. You’ll be delighted with the excellent service and welcoming hosts in this region full of history.

The day before the main race, on 14 October, the Iron Kids race will take place at the same location in Zelena Resort.

We invite you to challenge yourself at swimming, cycling and running during the Plava Laguna Ironman 70.3 Poreč, Istria, Croatia 2023. Register for the race from 9 November 2022 and don’t forget that competitors have special conditions and discounts on accommodation at selected Plava Laguna facilities with a personal promotional code provided upon registration to the race.
