This course is one of the most challenging in the IRONMAN 70.3 series and has been voted one of the top-ten most scenic triathlons in the world by Triathlete Magazine.
Athletes will begin with a 1.2-mile wave-start, one-loop swim that will start and finish at the beach of Auburn Bay Lake in south Calgary. A 56-mile bike course will take cyclists point-to-point through a tour of Alberta's spectacular ranch country, featuring views of the Rockies. The course is challenging, but fast. The 13.1-mile run is an out-and-back paved run course through the beautiful pathways of Glenmore Park that will take athletes along the Elbow River in the urban Weaselhead Natural Area. Although it's relatively flat, the run course will treat athletes to two challenging hills.
Calgary itself offers visitors an abundance of activities; be sure to check out Canadian Olympic Park, the Rocky Mountains and Banff National Park.
IRONMAN 70.3 Calgary offers 50 qualifying Age Group slots available for the 2017 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Chattanooga Tennessee.
Professionals compete for P-500 points and $15,000 prize purse.
