The
November Ironman is a new event for Cozumel; it started in 2009. It's been a pretty huge deal for the island since it attracts over 2000 athletes and is only one of 24 Ironman qualifying races in the world. 2009 went off without a hitch and so we're really looking forward to the event in 2010. It's fantastic to have so many dedicated athletes come to the island and enjoy it's beauty in a completely different way from the rest of us. After all, we don't typically get up at 7am and go for a 2.4 mile swim!
In 2009, we had a number of athletes stay with us. Many stayed at two resorts in which we manage a number of condos and villas: Residencias Reef and Costa del Sol. Both places are really convenient for race participants and their families/friends: 1) they're right on the water 2) they're right on the bike/marathon course 3) most importantly, they're 10-15 min away from Chankanaab, the start of the race. So you get to stay in a beautiful comfortable place, away from the crowds that are staying at the big race-sponsored resorts, and still have the opportunity to jump in the water to practice, cruise the bike route, or check out the start beforehand.
Here's what we have available in both Residencias Reef and Costa del Sol for the November 28, 2010 race. Click on the links to be taken to the property's page where you can view pictures, amenities, etc. You need to book well in advance of November! All these properties were booked for the 2009 race.
