2010 IRONMAN AUSTRIA
IRONMAN AUSTRIA: SUNDAY, JULY 04, 2010
Ironman Austria takes place July 4, 2010 in Catinthia, Klagenfurt, and the area around lake Worthersee . The countryside is beautiful and the course is flat and fast. Ironman Austria 2010 is already sold out but we will be offering a trip to this very popular Ironman event that has 50 qualifying slots available for Ironman Hawaii. We are using several small hotels just 2.5k from the race start, outside of Klagenfurt, which makes for a quieter and more relaxing stay.

EST's Ground Package to Ironman Austria includes:
  • Accomodation (3 Comfortable & Convienant Hotels to Choose From!)
  • Transfers From the Airport (Klagenfurt) to the Hotel
  • Transfer from the Train Station (Klagenfurt) to the Hotel
  • Daily Local Transportation (provided by EST)
  • Transportation to All Race Functions
  • Daily Buffet Breakfast
  • EST Hosts/Hostesses to Assist You
  • Exclusive EST Bike Mechanics in The Hotel
  • Guided Course Tours Daily (Sunday Through Thursday Pre Race)
  • Transfers From the Hotel to the Airport (Klagenfurt
  • Transfers From the Hotel to the Train Station (Klagenfurt)


  • Optional Day Trips in and Around Klagenfurt The Week Before and After the Race



    Extra service available - Complete bike unpack and assemble $50
    Included in the package is the services of a mechanic but we ask that you unpack your bike and loosely assemble which means putting the wheels on, hand tighten the pedals, and bars. The mechanic will then tighten everything and make all needed adjustments to the gears and brakes. If you prefer to just hand your bike case to the mechanic he will unpack and completely assemble your bike for $50. If after the race you want the mechanic to disassemble and pack your bike this can also be done for a $50 charge

    Please look through the site completely and then fill in the "REQUEST EVENT INFORMATION" form (RED BOX - this is just a request form and does not obligate you to travel with us) and we will contact you to discuss your trip and answer your questions. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call or email us directly.

    Air Travel

    For this race we do a ground only package so please feel free to go online and arrange a flight that is best for you with regards to dates, flight itinerary and price. All of our transfers are from either the Klagenfurt Airport or train station. If you are planning to arrive on or before the Monday the week of the race then flying into Klagenfurt would mostly be fine. Later then this there is a good chance your bike will not arrive on the same flight as you since they only put a few bikes on each flight. If you are arriving later I suggest flying into Vienna or Venice and then coming by train to Klagenfurt. If you are traveling around after the race to areas south of Austria such as Italy, Slovenia or other Adriatic countries then Venice may be best. If you are going to travel into Eastern Europe or throughout Austria, eastern Europe or into Germany then Vienna would be better.

    You will not need a car in Klagenfurt the week of the race as we provide the airport or train transfers as well as course tours and local transportation daily.
