The 15th Ironman of Nice will have its course shortened due to the heatwave and pollution peak that could harm the runners and cause health problems for some.
Here are the new distances:
SWIM 3.8 KM, BIKE 152 KM (2000m elevation gain), RUN 30 KM (3 laps)
The start is confirmed for 6:30 AM. The 2900 participants will set off from Plage du Centenaire.
