The Ironman South Africa is a year since 2000 in March or April held triathlon sports event on the Ironman distance (3.86 km swim, 180.2 km cycling, running 42.195 kilometers) in Port Elizabeth in South Africa. Organizes the Ironman South Africa, founded in 1998 by the Austrian Triangle Show & Sports Promotion GmbH. 2010, there were over 1,800 athletes at the start and the next competition will here on 10 April 2011 instead.
Set in the spectacular Nelson Mandela Bay, an exciting holiday destination that features beautiful beaches and a wide range of nature and wildlife attractions, the Spec-Savers Ironman South Africa triathlon became an amazing addition to the Ironman family of races when it was moved up to a full Ironman distance event in 2005.
The race is like no other in many other ways. The African dancers and musicians entertain not only at the pasta party and awards ceremony - they are on hand for the race start and at the finish line, too.
The two-loop swim at the Spec-Savers Ironman South Africa triathlon starts at Hobie Beach - one of the many beautiful beaches here in Nelson Mandela Bay.
The bike course is made up of three 60km loops that will take you along the scenic coast and wrap you in its splendour.
The run (3 loops) links up with the cycle route taking you through crowds of cheering spectators as you make your way to the prestigious Finish Line for your moment of glory.
