Cervia Triathlon Camp 2026: Train in the heart of Ironman, at the Fantini Club.

From 16 to 19 April 2026, the Fantini Club will become home to the Cervia Triathlon Camp , a special event for those who love triathlon and want to best prepare for the season… starting from the place where history is truly written.

For nine years , the Fantini Club has been the operational and symbolic heart of Ironman Italy : here beats the heart of the race, here flows the athletes' energy, and here, on our beach, is the finish line . Training at the Fantini Club means experiencing the Ironman atmosphere—every day.

Train where you actually compete

The camp was born with this very spirit: swimming, cycling, and running on the same courses as the Ironman , including the roads, the sea, and the running sections that welcome over 6,000 athletes from all over the world every year. Cervia is not just a location: it's an open-air gym for triathletes.
