How the day is laid out

The swim is held in a lake. An average of 18 °C sits in the range where a wetsuit is both allowed and worth wearing for nearly everyone.

The bike leg is labelled rolling.

The run is labelled flat, over 4 laps, with 4 aid stations.

A rolling bike ahead of a flat run keeps the climbing on the bike and lets the run settle into a rhythm.

Expect air between 13 °C and 21 °C on race day. A spread of 8 degrees across the day matters as much as the peak, because what you wear at the swim exit is rarely what you want at the far end of the bike.

A new swim venue in Lake Raku, with no water reading yet

The 3.8 km swim is now a single loop in Lake Raku, which ironman.com presents as a new venue: clear water, a sandy bed, an average depth of 6.4 m and a maximum of 18.7 m. The Historical weather table has no water reading for 2024, 2025 or 2026, so the 18 °C average shown on the race page cannot be checked against race days yet. Morning air lows were 11 to 16 °C. ironman.com calls the course fast and flat, "unless the wind plays a trick on you". The competition centre is by the Baltic Sea.
