This is the race many triathletes have been waiting for – the 70.3 Ironman East London (or Half Ironman)!
It consists of a 1.9km swim, a 90km road cycle and a half marathon.
Together these distances make up 70.3 miles (hence the name) and the race is half the distance of the Ironman held in Port Elizabeth in April.
With a tough bike course, Buffalo City offers athletes a real challenge, but it’s all part of getting to one of the most amazing finish lines in world.
Good luck to all our Runner’s World readers taking part!
