The Asia-Pacific IRONMAN circuit has grown into one of the sport's most geographically diverse regions, spanning tropical islands, alpine lakes, and major coastal cities. Our Asia-Pacific lineup includes Busselton, Port Macquarie, Cairns, and the retired Melbourne race in Australia; Waikato in New Zealand; Langkawi in Malaysia; Subic Bay in the Philippines; Penghu in Taiwan; and Hokkaido along with the separately listed South Hokkaido race in Japan.

Europe has been central to IRONMAN's global expansion for decades, and its race calendar reads like a tour of the continent's most demanding landscapes — Alpine climbs, coastal headwinds, and city-center finish lines packed with crowds. In our current European lineup you'll find patches from Zurich and Thun in Switzerland, Kalmar in Sweden, Nice and Vichy and Vendée in France, Frankfurt and Hamburg in Germany, Regensburg (a retired location, now a collector favorite), Cork in

Every IRONMAN race location eventually tells two stories: the one athletes lived through on race day, and the one that continues afterward on a patch collector's wall. Some of the most interesting patches in any collection aren't from next year's race calendar — they're from races that no longer exist.
