Ironman 70.3 Kansas
Ironman 70.3 Kansas is the latest addition to the Ironman 70.3 series. Taking place on June 15, 2008, the inaugural event will consist of a 70.3 mile journey that includes a 1.2 mile swim, a 56 mile bike and a 13.1 mile run.
The new Ironman 70.3 Kansas Triathlon will take place in Lawrence, Kansas just west of Kansas City. Ironman 70.3 Kansas will serve as one of 28 worldwide qualifying events for next year's Ironman World Championship 70.3.
The swim will be held in Clinton Lake. Water temperatures are expected to be 74-77 F. Following the swim, athletes will ride 56 miles through the rolling terrain of southwest Douglas County. The bike course covers a challenging course known to local cyclists as the “Iron-Cross.” The “Iron-Cross” consists of the intersecting county roads of 1023 and 458. The bike course will offer long, winding, flat stretches matched with steep, challenging hills.
