← Ironman 70.3 Budapest

The race takes place in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, right along the Danube past historic landmarks like the Parliament, Chain Bridge and Buda Castle. 

The swim/transition area is a gorgeous green park that includes a tranquil lake-like part of the Danube.

Everything worked flawlessly: registration, safety, transition logistics, aid/food/hydration stations, tons of volunteers.

One downside: drafting on the bike segment was not only common but outright egregious.  Groups of 30-40 athletes would whizz by with no penalties at all...

I would certainly go again!
