Ironman World Championship Medical Symposium 2026

Clinicians in primary care and sports medicine who care for endurance athletes and active individuals at every level.

It is most useful for primary care and sports medicine clinicians who look after endurance athletes, since the program centres on that care and Robert Sallis, MD chaired the symposium, in its 36th year. Clinicians outside sports medicine, or those wanting a large multi-specialty meeting, would get less, as the draw is a CME program tied to the Ironman World Championship at the Outrigger Kona Resort & Spa.

Clinicians at resort CME meetings tied to athletic events usually wear relaxed resort casual, such as polos, aloha shirts and sundresses, with sneakers and sportswear common around the race.
