When you have such a varied territory – the straight lines of the seafront and the sloping hills – there really are a multitude of opportunities to practice your favourite sport… 1 – IronMan Italy Emilia-Romagna, Cervia Men and women of steel is a bit of an understatement given that the fantastic athletes (over 6,000), who meet each year in Cervia, battle it out over the longest triathlon distances: swimming (3.8 km), cycling (180 km) and running (42.195 km). A great international event in the heart of Romagna.
