Help Svetlana Compete at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship

From Olympian to Ironwoman - You Can Be Part of Her Journey

Hi, my name is Svetlana Karpeeva - I’m a mom of two boys, a swim coach, and an athlete who represented Russia at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

After retiring from competitive swimming, I dedicated myself to helping others through coaching. But deep inside, I still had the drive to challenge myself - and that’s how I found triathlon.

In just two seasons, I qualified for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Marbella, Spain, taking place in November 2025.

This is a dream I’ve worked for - not as a sponsored pro, but as a mother, mentor, and everyday athlete training before sunrise, between school runs, and after coaching swim practice.

Now I need your help to get to the start line.
