IRONMAN brand owner World Triathlon Corp (WTC) has confirmed that the 2015 IRONMAN Los Cabos in Mexico will move from its usual timing in mid-March to 25 October in 2015 – providing athletes with a more suitable date in the autumn/fall. In addition, for the first time, Los Cabos will also offer the opportunity to race an IRONMAN 70.3 triathlon on the same date as the IRONMAN race.
The addition of the IRONMAN 70.3 race comes after Los Cabos successfully hosted ‘a challenging but spectacular IRONMAN race for the past two years.’ Los Cabos, Mexico is located at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula and is one of the top tourist destinations in North America.
The IRONMAN 70.3 course will consist of a one-lap swim on the beautiful and tranquil, clear waters of the exclusive Palmilla Bay; a one-loop cycle course along the Transpeninsular Highway linking Cabos San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo and the toll road to the airport; finishing with a two-lap run course on the downtown streets of San Jose.
The new IM 701.3 race will take place on Sunday 25 October 2015. IRONMAN 70.3 Los Cabos will have 30 qualifying age group slots for the 2016 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia while professional athletes will be competing for a total prize purse of US$50,000.
The 2015 IRONMAN Los Cabos will have 40 qualifying slots to the 2016 IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i.
