On 10 July 2011, Raelert broke the world record time for an Ironman Triathlon distance race at the at Challenge Roth event in Roth, Germany. Finishing in a time of 7 hours, 41 minutes and 33 seconds, beating Marino Vanhoenacker's record time of 7:45:58 set just the week before.

Raelert finished 2nd in the 2010 Ironman World Championship behind Chris McCormack and ahead of Mario Vanhoencker in 3rd .[3] The year after that, in 2011, he finished 3rd behind Craig Alexander and Pete Jacobs.
