WTC's 70.3 series

The World Triathlon Corporation have launched the Ironman 70.3 World Championship and World Series to begin in 2006. The 70.3 event is the brand name of what we know as a Half Ironman. It is the actual total distance of the race combining the swim, bike and run.

There is currently 16 races signed up worldwide, culminating in the inaugural World Championship in Florida on 11 November 2006 .

Due to the timing of our season Australia is unable to be part of this year’s Series, however we are currently assessing the viability and interest level of an Ironman 70.3 event in Australia in the 2006/07 season, which would be a qualifier for the 2007 World Championship.
