4 Oct 09 : Ironman Putrajaya 70.3
The 70.3 Ironman Putrajaya is a scaled-down version of the Ironman Triathlon. The aim of the 70.3 Ironman Race is two-pronged, namely, to develop local talent and interest in the triathlon sport; and to promote Putrajaya, the country’s new administrative capital, to the world.
The 70.3 Ironman retains all the elements of the full Ironman – the swim, the bike and the run. The distances of the respective race segments have been halved – hence the 70.3 Ironman. The race begins with a swim in the lake in Putrajaya, followed by a bike segment that takes the participants from Putrajaya lake through the many interesting places in Putrajaya and ending the bike at the square. The run ends with a four loop run round the Putrajaya.
The date proposed for the event is 26 July 2009, in conjunction with the month of National Day Celebrations, but has been postponed to 4 October 2009.
