The 2023 Kaiser Permanente IRONMAN California, part of the VinFast IRONMAN North America Series event offers Age Group Qualifying slot to the 2024 VinFast IRONMAN World Championship (Kona) – Male athletes and to the 2024 VinFast IRONMAN World Championship (Nice) – Female athletes.

SWIM:
Kaiser Permanente IRONMAN California features a downriver swim with athletes starting in the American River near Township 9 Park. The 2.4 mile swim course is a point to point into the Sacramento River and exiting near the famous Tower Bridge. We’ll be sure to place the turn buoys at the confluence of the rivers in the best location to match the current. We realize that last year’s placement of our buoys made it difficult to fight the river’s current and get around the buoy correctly.

BIKE:
The IRONMAN California bike course is a flat and fast, two-loop tour of the beautiful farm and wine country. The Sacramento River delta region, athletes will tour what makes Sacramento the farm to fork city, which will showcase the great agricultural region of the Central Valley. Athletes will be able to test their fitness and break their best on this flat bike course.

RUN:
The Kaiser Permanente IRONMAN California will be a flat, fast two-loop run course. Athletes will start their run heading South on the River Walk Trail along the Sacramento River out to your first turnaround near the Mill Street Pier. Then, head North, where athletes will cross under the historic Tower Bridge, I Street Bridge, and run along the River Walk Trail before heading back and crossing Tower Bridge to pick up the American River Bike trail in Old Sacramento and following the tree-lined path into Discovery Park. Once the runners have reached the turnaround in Discovery Park, they will retrace their footsteps back to transition to start their second lap.

Once the runners have completed their second lap, they will run through Old Sacramento, along Front St., and back into beautiful downtown Sacramento, where you will run around the California State Capitol building and gardens.

This course not only offers the opportunity for the Athlete to PR, but it also offers excellent opportunities for spectators to watch their athletes throughout the course and take in all of the sites, foods, and entertainment Sacramento has to offer.
