Course revealed for Inaugural IRONMAN 70.3 Tasmania multi-discipline event

The course for Tasmania’s first ever IRONMAN 70.3 race to be hosted in 2023 will be situated in the heart of Hobart. Scheduled to take place on Sunday 5th February 2023, the multi-discipline event will see more than 1,000 athletes make their way to Hobart to participate in the 1.9km swim, 90km ride and 21.1 km run.

The IRONMAN 70.3 Tasmania 2023 event is part of a five-year agreement established by the Tasmanian Government through Events Tasmania, which will see the State host events from 2023-2027, attracting more than 16,000 visitors to Tasmania.

Event organisers have developed a course which will provide an exceptional racing experience and showcase the spectacular region. Athletes will have the opportunity to dive off Australia’s largest pontoon at Brooke Street Pier at commencement of swimming leg (course shown above), then tackle a bike course with the highest elevation in the IRONMAN 70.3 Oceania circuit before finishing on the famous IRONMAN 70.3 red carpet on the PW1 forecourt.

After crossing the finish line at PW1, athletes will be able to enjoy some well-earned recovery time at Hobart’s bars and restaurants, with many expected to extend their stay to enjoy all that Tasmania has to offer.

The inaugural event is expected to deliver $1.9 million in economic impact to local businesses across Tasmania.
