Sylvan Adams, Honorary President of the IRONMAN Israel Middle East Championship: "In light of the great success of the IRONMAN 70.3 competition last year, I am excited about choosing IRONMAN to hold the full competition, the Middle East Championship, in Tiberias for the first time this year. "The best athletes from all over the world to Israel. We expect and welcome the tens of thousands of athletes from our neighboring countries who will come to compete on the shores of the Sea of ​​Galilee and this is a historic event for the entire region."

Minister of Culture and Sports Hili Trooper welcomed IRONMAN's announcement to hold the Middle East Championship in Israel: "I was happy to announce that the IRONMAN competition will reach the Middle East and be hosted here in Israel. All competitors from the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and other neighboring countries are expected to come to Israel to compete in the name of the spirit of sports and reconciliation. "

In light of the tremendous success last year, the Comtec Group and the Silvan Adams Foundation in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Sports, the Ministries of Tourism, the Triathlon Association and the Municipality of Tiberias announce that the IRONMAN-ISRAEL MIDDLE EAST CHAMPIONSHIP Triathlon will be held for the first time in Israel, November 25, 2022.

This is the first time that the full-distance competition of the international brand IRONMAN is being held in the Middle East and 75 places will be awarded for the 2023 World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.

Following the success of last year's IRONMAN 70.3 competition, in which thousands of competitors took part, this year a new regional championship will be held for the first time, one of five worldwide, "IRONMAN-ISRAEL MIDDLE EAST CHAMPIONSHIP". Jordan and other neighboring countries are also expected to take part in the championship from competitors from these countries.

The "IRONMAN" competition is considered the most prestigious triathlon competition that can be won and it consists of three parts: swimming, cycling and running.

The triathlon is held non-stop when the participants have a limited time to finish each and all sections of the competition and a total roof time to complete it and therefore it challenges the edge of human ability, physically and mentally.

As part of the IRONMAN event in Tiberias, there will be two races: a full IRONMAN race that will include 3.8 km of swimming in the Sea of ​​Galilee, 180 km of cycling and 42.2 km of marathon running and an IRONMAN 70.3 race that will include 1.8 km of swimming in the Sea of ​​Galilee, 90 km Cycling and 21.1 running.
