Ironman 70.3 will use the same course as the full Ironman Coeur d’Alene in August but athletes will only complete one loop of each discipline’s route instead of two.
The athletes will complete a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike ride, and a 13.1-mile run.
The swim begins at the beach in downtown Coeur d’Alene at 6 a.m. Athletes will swim one lap in Lake Coeur d’Alene, followed by the bike ride, which extends along the lake for 16 miles on Coeur d’Alene Lake Drive with a turnaround at the Higgens Point cul-de-sac. The athletes will then ride back through downtown to U.S. Highway 95 going south, make a U-turn south of Setters Road and finish at the City Park transition area.
After the bike ride, athletes will run a double down and back through McEuen Park with a turnaround just past Silver Beach Marina.
The finish line will still be Sherman Avenue. The first finisher is expected around 11 a.m. and the race officially ends at 3:45 p.m., or eight hours and 30 minutes after the final competitor enters the water. The first 75 athletes to finish will receive a spot in the 2017 Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Chattanooga, Tenn.
