Four Western Europe cities will host Ironman events in 2007 including Nice, France; Zurich, Switzerland; Klagenfurt, Austria; and Frankfurt, Germany.

Western Europe is home to four Ironman qualifying events: Nice, France; Zurich, Switzerland; Frankfurt, Germany; and Klagenfurt, Austria. Thousands of participants - along with their hordes of supporters, families and friends - from all over the world will descend on these four cities to compete for the Ironman title.

For those interested in participating, some of the races are still accepting applications.

Due to a conflict with elections in France, the Nice Ironman event was recently rescheduled for Sunday, June 24, which happens to be the same date as the Ironman competition in Zurich. For those unfamiliar with the particulars of an Ironman event, it includes a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike race and a 26.2 mile run. Here is some basic information about each of the events, all of which are a spectacle to behold:

Europe also hosts a few Ironman 70.3 qualifying events, which will be discussed in another article.
