Not quite the traditional January race we were originally all hoping for, nonetheless, Buffalo City welcomes us for what I’m sure will be an unforgettable race experience. Those that have raced IRONMAN 70.3 South Africa know that this is a race full of history and iconic battles both in the PRO and age-group fields. There is a reason why we call it the ‘League of Legends’; a well-respected tough race both mentally and physically – crossing that finish line is a beautiful moment that you will cherish forever.
Buffalo City also known as East London is a gateway to the popular Eastern Cape tourist routes, the Sunshine Coast and Wild Coast. As one of the longest running middle distance races in the country, the IRONMAN 70.3 South Africa is the official African TriClub Championship and a "badge of honour" race for any true IRONMAN 70.3 athlete.
This race offers qualifying slots for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.
