A little about me
Hi, I'm
MENA SUTER.
I'm a Swiss professional triathlete, physiotherapist and researcher. After years of balancing work, training and racing, I won IRONMAN Maryland in 2026 and qualified for the 2027 IRONMAN World Championship in Kona.
My journey started in the pool, continued with my first triathlon in 2011, and has taken me further than I ever imagined.

Sport has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up as a competitive swimmer, racing at national level, before stepping away from the pool at around 19 to focus on my education and discover what life outside structured training could look like.
Running brought me back to endurance sport. In 2011, I took part in my first Olympic-distance triathlon in Uster, and something clicked. I loved the combination of three disciplines, the challenge of learning new skills and the feeling that there was always another step to take. My first half-distance race in Rapperswil in 2015 was anything but easy. Instead of putting me off, it made me curious about how much I could improve.
In 2017, I finished my first full IRONMAN in Zürich. Over the following years I kept learning, balancing training with my work as a physiotherapist and in research. Qualifying for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Nice in 2019 was an early highlight. In 2022, I won the overall amateur race at IRONMAN Lanzarote and earned a place at the World Championship in Kona, where I finished third in my age group.
Eventually I decided to test myself in the professional field. The transition brought new challenges, plenty of lessons and a deeper appreciation of what it takes to race at this level. Winning IRONMAN Maryland in 2026 and qualifying for Kona 2027 was a moment I had worked towards for years.
But this journey has never been only about results. It is also about consistency, curiosity, the people who support me, and finding a meaningful balance between ambitious sport and a life beyond the finish line.

THE WORK CONTINUES.
From my first triathlon in 2011 to winning IRONMAN Maryland in 2026, every chapter has led me here. I have raced in Kona before as an age-grouper. In 2027, I return to the Big Island on the professional start line — with new goals, more experience and unfinished business.
The qualification is earned. The next chapter is still to be written.
