IRONMAN 70.3: Augusta, Georgia

 

 

Three XO Members will be heading off to compete in the world's largest Ironman 70.3! There will be over 3,000 triathletes in this race that takes place on September 25! Best wishes to Aliya Drakes, Stephen Welch and Derek Daniel!

 

In this Ironman 70.3, athletes will start their day swimming with the current and should anticipate record breaking times as they venture 1.2 miles in a point-to-point swim in the Savannah River. Located at the Augusta Rowing Complex, athletes will then enter transition and prepare to start their single-loop 56-mile bike ride throughout Georgia and into the countryside of South Carolina. Following this the athletes would continue on a 13.1-mile, two-loop run throughout downtown Augusta. Participants will conclude their day with a strong finish on Broad Street, adjacent to Augusta Commons.

 

The 2016 IRONMAN 70.3 Augusta offers 50 qualifying slots to the 2017 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
