A truly unique destination demands a unique course and IRONMAN 70.3 Tasmania will provide a playing field like no other ... starting with the only fully indoor transition for any event in Oceania.

That same venue, which is right next to the historic sandstone buildings of Salamanca, will also host the athlete check-in, expo, finish line, with swim start just 100 meters away.

Swim
You'll start your day in the cool, calm waters of the mighty River Derwent, hugging historic Battery Point, never far from the docks and piers of Port Hobart, and with supporters and spectators cheering every stroke of the 1.9km ROKA swim before exiting the water and running the short distance to the indoor transition.

Bike
For anyone who has been to Hobart, it is hard not to notice that in whichever direction you head out from the transition in Salamanca there's elevation. It should come as no surprise that the 90km course will deliver the most vertical gain of any course on the Oceania circuit - around 1000 metres. Of course, what goes up must also come down, and the rewards, like views across the River Derwent and back to kunanyi / Mt Wellington, are worth it.

Run
The run course will leave the event hub in Salamanca and heads out on one of the most popular running routes in the region. This flat and fast run will take you through the historic ports, past the botanic gardens and out towards Cornelian Bay, with the river views alone will be enough to get you through to the famous red carpet and finish line of IRONMAN 70.3 Tasmania.
