IRONMAN 70.3 Aracaju-Sergipe is a half-Iron triathlon held in Aracaju, a coastal city in Sergipe, northeast Brazil. The 70.3-mile race, sanctioned by Ironman, features a river swim, a fast and flat bike course, and a run along the coast. It also offers PTO World Ranking points for professionals and includes prize money, holding a Bronze-tier status.
The swim takes place in the Vaza Barris River, offering a distinct alternative to the sea swims common in many coastal triathlons. Following the swim, athletes navigate a largely flat bike course, concluding with a run near Aracaju’s beaches, rivers, and mangroves. Aracaju, sometimes referred to as the “Pequena Notável do Nordeste,” or “Little Notable One of the Northeast,” is a fitting location for a race centered around a smaller Brazilian capital with a prominent waterside environment.
