Official website: ironman.com/im-penghu
Ironman Penghu is a full-distance Ironman triathlon in Taiwan, part of the Ironman calendar. The next edition is in April 2027. The course is 3.8 km of swimming, 180 km on the bike and 42.195 km of running.
Climbing adds up to 1133 m, 1128 m on the bike and 5 m on the run, a moderate amount for the distance. The course is described as hilly.
Pacer Quest rates Ironman Penghu as Medium: 1133 m of climbing (moderate); finishers +7% slower than the average Ironman. The rating is automatic and compares total climbing for the distance, water temperature and, where results exist, how finishers compare with the average for that distance.
At the 2026 edition, 40 qualifying slots were shared among 550 ranked finishers, with slots allocated by age-graded rank under IRONMAN's performance-based system. For example, a M40-44 athlete needed roughly 10:20:02 and a F40-44 athlete needed roughly 10:19:01 to be inside the line.
Open the Race Lab to simulate this course with your own swim, bike and run paces, or use the Qualify module to place your time against these results. Registration and official details are on the organiser's website.
