IRONMAN 70.3 Emilia Romagna.
Your best day in Cervia.
Cervia brings the Adriatic, fast-looking roads and a half marathon by the sea. It also hosts a full IRONMAN during the same weekend. You are racing the 70.3, and your best day starts by keeping those two courses separate.

Your day in Cervia
What could you race?
I’m Tom, the coach behind Sense Endurance Coaching. Tell me where you are now and I’ll show you what a strong day in Cervia could look like.
The course behind your race
Same town, very different demands.
The earlier half-distance race started from Cervia's beach and finished by Fantini Club. Whatever the final 2027 turns look like, the decision is familiar: use the flat Adriatic setting to settle rather than burn energy chasing a bike split. The half's own roads and run still need the final course map.
Cervia half-distance bike, early stage
Use the actual 90 km map rather than the full bike
A flat, easy-feeling ride is exactly when planned nutrition gets skipped. Fuel on the clock.
Fuel on schedule. Watch the watts, not the speed.
Cervia regional half bike, later stage
Keep fuelling and power steady before T2
Complete your nutrition plan before three run laps that reward a paced bike.
Stay aero. Finish planned nutrition.
Cervia run route, opening half marathon
Set an effort that survives all 21.1 km
Let the first lap through Cervia feel easy, not fast.
Easy first aid station. Check posture.
Fantini Club area, prior finish
Finish strongly when the 2027 map confirms the route
Only progress once the first two laps have held together.
Stay tall. Choose the last move late.
What to check in race week
Check the 2027 half-distance date, beach start, bike turnarounds and run loops. The previous Fantini Club finish and older route details are useful references, not a substitute for the current 70.3 map. Make sure your race-day logistics don't follow the separate full-distance event.

Your plan, in race week
Prepare for Cervia
Build the legs.
Practise the decisions.
A finish range gives you something to work towards. The preparation is specific to this race: half-distance pacing is kept separate from the full race's coastal climb and marathon logistics, even though both use Cervia.
I’m Tom. With Sense Endurance Coaching, I’ll build that preparation around your life, follow how you respond and adjust the work as you get closer to Cervia.
