Ironman 70.3 Western Sydney

Experience the iconic Ironman 70.3 (kilometre) race in Western Sydney this November; part of the international series of Ironman events, it’s sure to thrill sports fans and spectators alike.

An Ironman 70.3 is half the length of a full Ironman race, and the Western Sydney race has been voted number one for overall athlete satisfaction in a survey of thousands of athletes from all over the world who have competed in the event over the years.

The reasons for that number one rating are obvious. The course is positioned at the base of the stunning Blue Mountains, with the bike course offering breathtaking views. The water component is located at the Penrith Lakes, and the flat run course takes place near Penrith’s beautiful Nepean River along the Great River Walk.

The runners return to the Sydney International Regatta Centre in Castlereagh to complete the course, and spectators will have the opportunity to cheer them on as they come down the finish chute. Join thousands of spectators in beautiful Western Sydney and witness this incredible sporting feat.

The Ironman 70.3 Western Sydney race promises an exciting, inspiring, and incredible display of strength, talent and determination. Come and support local, national and international athletes as they compete in this gruelling event.

Castlereagh is about 67 kilometres northwest of the Sydney CBD in Penrith – just over an hour’s drive via the M2 or the M4. Penrith is the closest train station on the Main Western Line, and from there, you can catch a bus to Castlereagh.

If you’re travelling from interstate or overseas to support a competitor, there is a range of accommodation available nearby, but make sure you book early so you don’t miss out.
