The bike course is rolling, with about 1,000 m of climbing.

The run course is flat.

Typical temperatures for the month run from 15 to 33 °C. The overall cut-off is 15 h 30 min.

A lake 20 km away, a finish in the old town

The swim is one 3.8 km loop of Ulibarri-Gamboa lake, in Landa Provincial Park, about 20 km from the city centre. Transition 1 is beside the lake, where athletes collect their bike gear from a bag; transition 2 is in the centre, on Calle Olaguíbel. ironman.com measured the water at 21 °C in 2024 and 22 °C in 2025, and race-day highs of 32 to 35 °C from 2024 to 2026.

The bike covers 2.5 laps through the villages of Álava and shares a section with the Camino de Santiago. The run is four flat laps of the city centre, with the finish in Plaza España.
