IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast

About the event

It’s not hard to see why we chose to bring a race to the Sunshine Coast – it’s literally in the name. When you’re finding a place to race, you want a dash of good weather, a course that suits everyone, and a place that just feels good to be there – that’s the sweet spot. The race starts with a swim off the surf beach, followed by a flat and fast bike course, and finishing with the two-lap run course, around Mooloolaba’s Esplanade. So, whether it's your first time taking on the distance or you're chasing down a PB - Sunny Coast is the place to race. The flat and friendly course, lined with spectators cheering you all the way to the finish line is perfect whether it’s your first or tenth IRONMAN 70.3.
