Event
Information:
An
Ironman 70.3, also known as a Half
Ironman, is one of a series of
middle-distance triathlon races
organized by the World Triathlon
Corporation (WTC). The "70.3" refers
to the total distance in miles
(113.0 km) covered in the race,
consisting of a 1.2-mile (1.9 km)
swim, a 56-mile (90 km) bike ride,
and a 13.1-mile (21.1 km) run. Each
distance of the swim, bike, and run
segments are half the distances of
those segments found in an Ironman
triathlon. The Ironman 70.3 series
culminates each year with a World
Championship competition, of which
competitors qualify for during the
70.3 series in the 12 months prior
to the championship race. In
addition to the World Championship
race, Ironman 70.3 championship
competitions are also held for the
European and the Asia-Pacific
regions.
The
imposing landscape covered during
Ironman 70.3 Pucon makes every
athlete enjoy every step during the
unforgettable experience of a route
at the feet of the spectacular
Villarrica Volcano. It is a race
that has won the position of one of
the most beautiful in the World
Circuit.

Beach (Villarica Lake).
Bike: Two 28 miles laps on a route

Hot Springs, all with a smoking and
majestic Volcano as a background.
Run: Three laps with an identical
number of tough ascents to Pucon's
Peninsula. Each ascent offers, as a
background, the imposing Villarica
Lake. The run ends with a flat route
through Pucon's downtown with the
unforgettable support of a cheering
crowd.
