Triathlon chennai

Tamil Nadu Udhayanidhi Stalin: Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Udhayanidhi Stalin on Friday launched the country’s first-ever 5150 Triathlon Chennai under the prestigious IRONMAN brand. Scheduled for January 11, the race will be held at the MGM Beach Resort, East Coast Road.

The Chennai launch builds on IRONMAN’s expanding footprint in India, which began with the debut of IRONMAN 70.3 Goa in 2019. Over the years, Goa has grown into the nation’s triathlon capital, drawing over 1,200 athletes from 50 nations. Building on this strong foundation, IRONMAN India now introduces the globally renowned 5150 Triathlon Series to the country.

“By partnering with IRONMAN India, SDAT is proud to bring an internationally acclaimed race format to our country. This event will not only inspire thousands of athletes across all age groups but also contribute to the state’s reputation as a premier destination for world-class sporting events. With the strong support of our government, we are committed to providing the infrastructure, organisation and encouragement necessary to make the 5150 Triathlon Chennai a great success,” said Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin.
