Ironman Switzerland (Thun) 2025 – Analyzing Results

IMThunCourse Conditions

This year, conditions in Thun were probably the fastest we have seen (other than the short first edition in 2021). We have also seen a full set of new male course records. Ruben Zepuntke improved on the swim record set by Daniela Ryf (!) in 2022 by more than three minutes, then Marius Bjerkeset set a new bike course record (beating Zepuntke’s time from 2023 by ten minutes), finally winner Leonard Arnold set new run and overall course records. His 2:36 marathon and 7:49 finish were quicker than Jan van Berkel’s times from 2023 (2:40 and 8:05).

Kona Qualifying

IM Switzerland was the first race that offered two Pro slots for Kona 2026. These will be offered to:

  • Leonard Arnold,
    and
  • Marius Bjerkeset.

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

Ironman Copenhagen 2025 – Analyzing Results

IM Copenhagen 2025Course Conditions

Once again, conditions in Copenhagen were quick. With an adjustment of 33:45, this year’s race was about six minutes quicker than the last Pro race in 2021 and about 11 minutes quicker then the new course rating (i.e. average) of 22:29.

We’ve also seen new course records. Most notably, winner Finn Grove-Freese took the overall course records from Cam Wurf (improving by just over eight minutes) and also the run course record which was set back in 2011 by Mats Vittrup (was 2:38, now 2:32). The first four athletes were under the old run course record. Before that, we’ve also seen a new bike course record which was also set by Cam Wurf in 2021 at 4:02. Rasmus Svenningssen was the fastest with a 3:54 but since he ended his run as planned after 10k, this time is not valid for a course record. Instead, the new mark was set by Matthew Palmer with 3:58.

Finn also set a new German fastest time. Some more new national records: Jesper (Sweden), Zack (Great Britain), and Milosz (Poland). (with Nice and Kona coming up, I will take some time to update the national records post.)

Nice Qualifying

Copenhagen offered the final slot for the men’s Ironman World Championships 2025 in Nice. For now, it’s not 100% clear who will get this slot. Both winner Finn Grove-Freese and second.place Mathias Petersen already have their slots. Therefore, 

  • Jesper Svensson should be offered the slot, but he has indicated that he might decline,
    in that case
  • Zack Cooper will be next in line.

However, this will only be official at the awards ceremony on Monday.
