Overview
Ironman 70.3 Italy begins with a 1.9 km swim that takes place near the downtown beach area in the calm and temperate water of the Adriatic Sea. Athletes will then embark on a 90 km bike through the foothills of the Abruzzo Mountains that provides a challenging and scenic ride through vineyards and groves of olive trees. The concluding half marathon (21.1 km) along the beach promenade lined with palm trees and through downtown Pescara leads to the finish line in the heart of the city.
