IRONMAN's First Year In Tri-Cities

Announced in October 2023, this year marks the first ever Tri-Cities hosted IRONMAN competition. The event's been secured for 2024, 2025, and 2026, and is expected to bring millions to our local economy.

Ever since the announcement, Tri-Cities has been preparing for this massive event - and how it does in the next three years may mean a more permanent future and additional opportunities for Tri-Cities.

What is IRONMAN 70.3?

IRONMAN 70.3 is an endurance athletic triathlon, featuring a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride, and a 13.1-mile run. 70.3 refers to the length of the course - together, the swim, bike, and run portions total 70.3 miles. You might also see it referred to as a "Half Ironman" - because the full IRONMAN competition is twice that length! In fact, it's one of the longest triathlons in the world.

Volunteers are still needed for IRONMAN 70.3 in Tri-Cities - so if you'd like to get close to the action and perhaps become inspired for the future, consider offering your time!

IRONMAN 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities takes place on September 22, 2024. For more information, including course maps, athlete guides, and more, visit the official IRONMAN website.
