Surrounded by the Boise Mountains, the IRONMAN 70.3 Boise race kicked off in the pristine waters of Lucky Peak Reservoir, with a 1.2-mile swim starting and finishing in Barclay Bay. Once out of the water, athletes headed into transition 1 located at the Barclay Bay Parking Area. Athletes were greeted with a sweeping downhill ride after exiting the Lucky Peak Reservoir area to start their 56-mile bike ride through the greater Boise region. Athletes were treated to a scenic tour of the rural Boise roads and neighborhood streets before ending their bike journey with a downtown finish at transition 2. The popular Boise River Greenbelt Trail played host to the IRONMAN 70.3 Boise run course. The flat, two-loop, 13.1-mile course was packed with shade and spectators as athletes ran along the Boise River to complete their IRONMAN 70.3 journey in downtown Boise.
