IRONMAN 70.3 Port Macquarie 2026

IRONMAN 70.3 Port Macquarie is a half-distance triathlon held in Port Macquarie, New South Wales, under the IRONMAN brand. Competitors will complete 70.3 miles: a 1.9 km swim, a 90 km bike course, and a 21.1 km run. The event also provides Aquabike and relay team categories, allowing participants to choose formats other than the full swim-bike-run individually. The swim takes place in the protected waters of the Hastings River, offering a calmer start compared to an open ocean swim. The bike course follows coastal roads beside the Pacific Ocean and is undulating, featuring at least one climb with an 18% gradient. The run is flat, passing through Port Macquarie's center, presenting the final half marathon as potentially the quickest segment of the course. The race draws age-group triathletes, relay teams, Aquabike competitors, and professionals seeking PTO World Ranking Points and prize money.
