As athletes prepare to compete in the 2021 Intermountain Healthcare IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship presented by Utah Sports Commission, the IRONMAN Virtual Club (VC) has launched a new phase of virtual racing with the 2021 IRONMAN VR Land of Endurance.
The Land of Endurance campaign will run from Wednesday, September 1 through Sunday, October 10, during which all IRONMAN VC members will have a chance to participate in virtual events ‘inspired by the pinnacle IRONMAN 70.3 event’.
In addition, as the IRONMAN VC platform continues to evolve and increase accessibility, it is now compatible with a number of new activities including wheelchair racing and handcycling. Available across a variety of applications, these new compatible activities will now sync with IRONMAN Virtual Club.
IRONMAN VR Land of Endurance races
Throughout the IRONMAN VR Land of Endurance, participants will have the opportunity test themselves by undertaking a unique series of primes during the weekly VR race.
The primes are designed as single sport events seeking to find best virtual competitors in the world across all three triathlon disciplines: swim, bike and run, while offering world championship themed VR races the week of 2021 Intermountain Healthcare IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.
Challenge of Champions
Taking place from Wednesday, September 1 through Sunday, October 10, participants will have to accrue 210.9 miles, the length of both a full-distance triathlon (140.6 miles) and a half-distance triathlon (70.3 miles) to complete the Challenge of Champions.
To aid in this challenge, every week IRONMAN VC will offer weekly workouts inspired by the course in St George, Utah. In addition, themed challenges during the week of the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship event will offer participants the opportunity reach their goal, earn additional bonus points toward rewards, and more.
The IRONMAN VR Land of Endurance has been designed so athletes competing at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship can also join in the VR competition by syncing their training rides with the platform.
