This year’s event will also witness participants from areas such as Daman & Diu, Puducherry, Uttrakhand, Jammu and Kashmir.
“We are happy to host IRONMAN 70.3 in Goa for the second time,” said Tourism Minister of Goa, Shri Rohan Khaunte. “It’s been a much-awaited timespan for the athletes because of the pandemic.
“The pandemic has also triggered people to get into fitness and hence we see a lot of people have been participating in IRONMAN to challenge their core strengths. As Goa is known for tourism, we are happy to collaborate with IRONMAN and provide the best possible infrastructure for the event.
“IRONMAN is a big event for the state, which can help us boost tourism, and we want the state to be known as the Ironman’s destination for India.”
Jaymin Shah, Country Manager of SCOTT Sports India, said “We are proud and happy to associate with the country’s only international triathlon event as a bike partner.
“IRONMAN 70.3 in the country has given many cyclists, runners and swimmers tremendous opportunities to compete. We look forward to engaging with the triathlon community, adding value to their game, and promoting the sport in the country.”
Coach Deepak Raj, Organiser & Race Director of IRONMAN 70.3 Goa, said “We are delighted that Scott has chosen to be the Cycling Partner of IRONMAN 70.3 Goa.
“Scott has played a major role in India to grow the cycling community, and encourage people to stay active. Their partnership and support is crucial in enhancing the experience of participants and inspire the broader endurance community towards our bigger mission of a #fitIndia.
