Where things start to get tricky is on the bike.<\/p>\n<p>The single-loop course takes you from the beautiful Mediterranean coast on the French Riviera and into the nearby hills and beautiful mountains of the Alps.<\/p>\n<p>The total elevation gain for the full IRONMAN is over 2,400m, while it\u2019s 1367m for the 70.3. But it\u2019s the technical downhill that can be just as much of a challenge, with concentration and control needed to get you down quickly but safely.<\/p>\n<p>Once back in Nice, you\u2019ll get to enjoy\/survive (delete as appropriate) the run, which follows an out-and-back loop along the flat Promenade des Anglais. It\u2019s two loops alongside the beach for the half-IRONMAN, or four loops for the full distance.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3.

It\u2019s easy to while away a few days here, particularly for food connoisseurs and those interested in art.<\/p>\n<p>But within easy striking distance you\u2019ve got some of the highlights of France\u2019s southern coast. Monaco and Cannes are both an easy day trip away, while the glitz and glamour of Saint-Tropez are just a couple of hours drive away.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, head inland and you can quickly arrive at the emerald blue waters of the beautiful Verdon Gorge. It\u2019s understandable how this has become such a popular tourist spot, and its surroundings are impressive, too.<\/p>\n<p>Head further north and in a few hours you can be entering the natural paradise that is the \u00c9crins National Park, or in return for an extra couple of hours in the car you\u2019ll arrive at the iconic Alpe d\u2019Huez.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5.

announced their route lists for June 2023, but there are typically direct flights to Nice airport from a range of UK airports.<\/p>\n<p>These include London Heathrow, London Stansted, Manchester,

Flight times are around two hours and return tickets are often available for less than \u00a3100 per person.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Nice airport is centrally located and is within 30 minutes of the city via public transport or car.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, return ferries between the UK and France can be had for less than \u00a3200 (two people, one car), but then you\u2019ll be faced with a long drive (roughly 11 hours from the north coast) in France.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to enter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>IRONMAN France Nice takes place on 25 June 2023 and registration is open now. <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IRONMANFrance&quot;\"><strong>Find out more and enter here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"no-tts wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rob Slade Published: Monday, 17 October 2022 at 12:00 am Searching for a bucket-list-worthy overseas race to enter next year and stuck on what to choose?
