A new three-year host venue agreement has been agreed between IRONMAN and the North Idaho Sports Commission to host the IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d’Alene triathlon in the city of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d’Alene was originally added in 2016, following an extended agreement for the full distance IRONMAN Coeur d’Alene race in 2015.
Northern Idaho and the city of Coeur d’Alene celebrated 20 years of racing the full distance IRONMAN Coeur d’Alene on June 25, 2023. Chris Leiferman (USA) won the men’s pro race with a finishing time of 08:06:42, while Jodie Robertson (USA) topped the podium in the women’s pro race with a time of 09:07:31.
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the North Idaho Sports Commission and the city of Coeur d’Alene,” said Tim Brosious, Northwest Regional Director for The IRONMAN Group.
“After 20 years of racing in this beautiful Northern Idaho community, Coeur d’Alene continues to be one of the most exciting destinations and sought after race experiences in our North American race series. We are proud to continue to offer an IRONMAN 70.3 triathlon in this unique and beautiful Northwest community.”
The IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d’Alene triathlon consists of a 1.2-mile single-loop swim in Lake Coeur d’Alene. Athletes then embark on a 56-mile single-loop bike ride that will take them on a challenging yet scenic ride through the Northern Idaho terrain with sweeping mountain views before a transition at City Park.
Athletes will cap off their race with a 13.1-run course through spectator lined streets, as well as views of Lake Coeur d’Alene, with finish line experience in downtown Coeur d’Alene on Sherman Ave.
Coeur d’Alene and its neighbouring areas are surrounded by dozens of lakes left behind by the glaciers from the ice age. There are more than 55 lakes within easy driving distance of Coeur d’Alene.
The 2024 IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d’Alene takes place on June 23, 2024 and will offer qualifying slots to the 2024 VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Taupō, New Zealand.
