IRONMAN 70.3 LANGKAWI & IRONMAN MALAYSIA

Course

Swim

Age group swim start will be a rolling start. Athletes will cross a timing mat on the beach before entering the water to start the swim. The rolling start will ensure a continuous smooth but safe flow of athletes (4 or 5 at a time) into the water. On completion of the swim, athletes have a 200m run to transition (T1). The swim will be non-wetsuit with water temperatures hovering around 28 C (82F).

Bike

The two-loop bike course heads out of Pantai Kok towards Jalan Teluk Yu on a clockwise loop from the Northwest point of the island around the rolling hills of Datai towards the southeastern part of the island. Passing through several local villages ‘Kampungs’, athletes will get a true taste of the colourful sights and sounds and local communities of the island. The aid stations along the bike course are all supported by the local communities in Langkawi.

Athletes will enjoy the local wildlife and winding terrain, passing The Langkawi Falls on route to the Datai turnaround. At the end of the 2nd loop, athletes will continue along the coastline of Pantai Kok heading towards Transition (T2).

Run

The run course will showcase the best Malaysia has to offer as athletes pass through the scenic ocean front of Cenang Beach. Athletes will exit T2  and run along the side of the Langkawi International Airport runway. The tropical flat run course brings athletes into the beach front of Pelangi Beach Resort and Spa for their 2 lap run.
