Hemispheres collide at 70.3 Ecuador Manta

Friday 09 July 2021

The 2021 edition will take place on July 11th, in Manta, which is located on the Pacific Ocean Coast. In addition to the spectacular scenery and leisure activities, athletes and their families will enjoy mild weather and an enthusiastic, cheering community, which creates an unbeatable environment for an unforgettable race. Manta is easily accessible thanks to its international airport and offers a first-class hotel infrastructure and lots of entertainment and dining opportunities.

Finally, a two-loop, flat and fast 13.1-mile run course offers beautiful ocean views, spectacular crowds and a lively finish line just off of the beach.
