Swim
Athletes will enter the waters of Lake Monona as a self-seeded rolling start to begin their two-loop clockwise 2.4-mile swim. Once athletes complete their first loop, they will stay in the water to start their second loop. As athletes make their final left turn and exit the swim they will make their way up the Helix at Monona Terrace as they run up into T1.

Bike
Once athletes exit the changing area and head to their bikes they will start the 112-mile bike course by mounting their bikes and heading down the Helix. Once on course athletes will navigate south and then west before arriving at the hilly two-loop course, taking them through the farmlands of Wisconsin. Athletes are known to be met on the most challenging of hills with spectators cheering next to them as they reach the peaks. In the town of Verona, athletes are met by crowds lining the streets cheering them on as they start their second loop and then head back to the Monona Terrace. One final push up the Helix at the Monona Terrace and athletes will find the dismount line at the top.

Run
The IRONMAN Wisconsin run course is a spectator-friendly two-loop 26.2-mile course, taking athletes through the streets of downtown Madison. On their journey athletes are also taken through the University of Wisconsin football stadium, home of the Badgers, before heading toward the UW Lakeshore Nature Reserve and running next to University Bay. As you head back toward downtown the streets lined with crowds you will run around the Capitol building before starting your second loop or heading toward the finish line.
