IRONMAN 70.3 Davao makes its much-anticipated return to the country’s premier endurance racing scene, promising a bigger, tougher and more compelling spectacle when it unfolds on 22 March in Davao City.
Marking its milestone fifth staging, the race signals Davao’s renewed prominence on the global triathlon map, highlighted by a redesigned bike course, the return of crowd-favorite team competitions, and strong backing from new and renewing partners.
Long regarded as the most competitive IRONMAN 70.3 in the Philippines, the Davao leg is once again expected to draw a stellar international and local field, with elite athletes and age-group standouts battling for podium honors.
The race features the classic IRONMAN 70.3 distance — a 1.9-kilometer swim, 90-kilometer bike, and 21.1-kilometer run — offering a grueling proving ground for first-timers and seasoned veterans alike.
What elevates this year’s edition is the introduction of a new bike course, designed to add a fresh layer of intrigue, strategy and difficulty as athletes chase speed while managing energy and endurance.
