Over 3k Athletes Take Part in IRONMAN 70.3 Remich Including Gordon Ramsay

The twelfth edition of the IRONMAN 70.3 Luxembourg Remich - Région Moselle race took place in Remich on Sunday 13 July 2025.

According to the organisers, around 3,000 age-group athletes took on the challenge of the IRONMAN 70.3 course, which included a 1.9 km swim, a 90 km bike ride and a 21.1 km run.

The 1.9 km swim took place in the Moselle, from where the 90 km bike course led along the banks of the river towards Grevenmacher, passing vineyards and offering a touch of history as athletes rode past the Schengen Monument, commemorating the 1985 Schengen Agreement. The final 21.1 km run led participants along a circuit along the Moselle riverside promenade in Remich before they could receive their hard-earned medals at the finish.

In the men’s race, Belgium’s Ben De Wolf claimed victory with a time of 4:07:22. He was followed by Switzerland’s Geoffroy Bagnoud (4:10:37) and the United States’ Luke Creger (4:10:38), who took second and third place, respectively.

In the women’s race, Germany swept the podium: Hella Haak took first place with a time of 4:31:45, followed by compatriot Anna Kaumanns in second (4:37:06) and Denise Hiemann in third (4:39:42).

The Luxembourg middle-distance triathlon championship was also held as part of the IRONMAN 70.3 Remich - Région Moselle. Anne Reiser claimed the national women’s title with a time of 4:49:37, followed by Sophie Margue in second place (5:05:48) and Laura Grober in third (5:16:50).

In the men’s category, Moris Brust won the national title in 4:17:22, shaving five minutes off his time from last year. Adrien Rossignon finished second in 4:19:15, while Leo Diswiscour completed the podium in 4:23:21.

British chef and television personality Gordon Ramsay was among the participants at this year’s IRONMAN 70.3 Luxembourg Remich - Région Moselle, completing the race in a time of 06:52:28. “Super excited to be back, what an incredible race and well organised. From this time a year ago, it's a dream come true. Looking forward to more races to come,” he stated after crossing the finish line.
