IRONMAN 70.3 DESARU COAST

Course

1.9km Swim

90km Bike

The two-loop, undulating bike course will head out towards Desaru Coast Riverside and then turn right at Jalan Kampung Punggol, heading straight through the Penawar Roundabout. At the Tanjung Balau roundabout, athletes will head staright towards Sedili Kecil. From the far turnaround point at the northern end of the bike course, athletes will head back to the Tanjung Balau roundabout which will signify the lap turnaround point to start their second lap. At the end of the second lap, athletes will head straight (instead of turning right) through the Penawar Roundabout and turn left into Jalan Desaru to return to transition.

21.1km Run

The mostly flat, three-loop run course will circle around the perimeter of The Els Club Desaru Coast - Ocean Course, offering some welcome shade in certain places. The lap turnaround point will be located outside the transition area at the beachfront of The Westin Desaru Coast Resort, where athletes will eventually finish their IRONMAN 70.3 journey.
