Why is it called the IRONMAN Amber Series?

Creating the IRONMAN Amber Series we want athletes to embark on a unique journey to three different countries: Estonia, Poland and Czech Republic. Thinking of this journey, we couldn’t ignore the Amber Road – an ancient trade route that once connected these three countries.

We invite you to follow in the footsteps of the ancient merchants and forge your own path to discovering new cultures, visiting new places and reaching three amazing finish lines.

From the seaside cities of Tallinn and Gdynia, through Poland’s emerald-green landscapes and historic cities, to the unique architecture and countryside of Hradec Kralove – embrace the call of the amber trails and write your own journey.
