The Community of Pays d'Aix, known as a training paradise to many cyclists and triathletes, plays host to a spectacular qualifying race for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.
IRONMAN 70.3 Pays d'Aix will take place on the city of Aix en Provence. Aix en Provence is rich in history and arts combine to create some of the most beautiful museums and local architecture in the world.
Athletes will embark on a one-loop, 1,9 km swim that takes place in the waters of Plantain, located in the city of Peyrolles-en-Provence. During the 90 km bike course, athletes will pass through Pays d'Aix and eight surrounding towns, which allow for spectator support. A three-loop, 21,1 km run course winds athletes through city and forest roads through La Torse Park and the city of Aix-en-Provence.
There will be 30 age group qualifying slots available for the 2016 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.
Professionals compete for P-500 points and $15,000 prize purse.
