Cairns Iron Man Sunday, 13 June 2027
Set in one of the world's most iconic tropical locations, Ironman Cairns (check for details and major road closures) will take place again on Sunday, 14 June 2026.
It will feature a course memorable for the 3.8km swim in the warm crystal clear waters off Palm Cove, the 180km bike leg that travels up arguably the most scenic coastal roads in Australia towards Port Douglas and a 42.2km run that includes the Cairns boardwalk before finishing in the heart of the city of Cairns.
There will be a change of traffic conditions with significant delays on Sunday 14 June 2026.
