IM Hamburg

Ironman Hamburg 2026 – Analyzing Results

June 7, 2026

Course Conditions

This year was another quick race at IM Hamburg, this year’s adjustment of 30:45 was even quicker than last year and the Hamburg pre-race average of 22:58. The wetsuit swim was about average for Hamburg, followed by a fast bike and a quick run. A sub-8 finish was never a reasonable proposition, so no discussion was required of whether the 177k bike course should be accepted or not. Solveig Loevseth posted a faster bike time than Daniela Bleymehl’s course record from 2024 (on a different but overall even quicker course). Overall, a couple of new national records were set, e.g. Katrine for Denmark, Marjolaine for France, Lisa for Austria or Marta for Poland.

Kona Qualifying

IM Hamburg offered six female Pro slots. These will be offered to:

Laura Philipp
Marjolaine Pierre
Lisa Perterer
India Lee
Fenella Langridge
and
Kaidi Kivioja

Six athletes in the Top 11 were already qualified before IM Hamburg: Solveig Loevseth, Katrine Graesboell Christensen, Lotte Wilms, Marta Lagownik, Kate Curran and Charlotte McShane.

You can find the full list of qualifiers on my Kona 2026 page.

Ironman Hamburg 2025 – Analyzing Results

June 1, 2025

Course Conditions

The racing at the front was extremely fast in Hamburg, even if condition were a fair bit slower than last year. The new bike course (combined with wind and rain) was about six minutes slower than last year, so even there were fast times no new bike course record was set. The run course was almost exactly the same as as in previous year but still about two minutes slower. Laura and Kat pushed each other to new run PRs and – for Laura – a new fastest marathon in an Ironman-distance race of 2:38:27. Laura also set a new overall PR and course record of 8:03:13.

Kona Qualifying

As the European Championships, IIM Hamburg offered five Kona slots for the female Pros. These will be offered to

Solveig Loevseth, Leonie Konzalla, Danielle Lewis, Jenny Jendrischik and Rebecca Anderbury.

Laura Philipp, Kat Matthews and Anne Reischmann were already qualified. You can find all qualifiers here.
