The three parts of the Ironman Triathlon are a 2.4 mile (3.86 Km) ocean swim followed by a 112 mile (180.2 Km) bike ride followed by a marathon run (26 miles, 385 yards or 42.195 Km). Current course record holders are Luc Van Lierde of Belgium for men in a time of 8:04:08 and Paula Newby-Fraser of Zimbabwe for women in a time of 8:55:28.
I assume you mean The Ironman Triathlon. It consists of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike segment and a full marathon of 26.2 miles for a total of 140.6 miles
140.6 miles must be completed within 17 hours: 2.4 miles swim; 112 miles bike; 26.2 miles run.
The Olympic distance is a 1.5 kilometer swim, 40 kilometer bike, and 10 kilometer run. That translates roughly to .9 mile swim, 24.5 mile bike, and 6.2 mile run. They can range from as small as a 500 swim 12 mile bike 3 mile run, called a sprint triathlon, to a race with a 2.5 mile swim 112 mile bike and a marathon (26.2 miles), which is the Ironman.
It can be as long as you want it to be! It just has to consist of 3 different events, normally swimming, cycling and running.
