IRONMAN 70.3 Augusta Week is a local favorite. The city is buzzing with excitement as athletes from around the world swim, bike, and run through our city in preparation for their 70.3-mile journey to greatness.

After 15 years of cheering on local athletes as they race to the finish, we've learned a thing or two about the best places to watch. We've also got the inside scoop on things you won't want to miss while you're in our city.


THE SWIM 

The new swim course will take place up the Savannah River on the South Carolina side by the SRP Park/Green Jackets stadium and finish under the 5th Street Pedestrian Bridge. Athletes swim for 1.2 miles (with the current - expect record swim times!). Click here to see the Swim Course Map. 

Local Pro Tip: If you want a good view of the river and all of the swimmers at the start, head to the 5th Street Bridge and watch them swim below! 


THE BIKE

The 56-mile course is a single loop beginning at the new transition area central to the downtown Augusta area taking athletes through South Augusta before ending back at the same transition area. Click here to see the Bike Course Map. 

Local Pro Tip: It's a bit of a hike to watch the swim start and be there for transition, but if you want to see your athlete on the bike course, find a spot along Reynolds Street. 

 

THE RUN 

The new run course is designed to showcase the beautiful Savannah River running along the Augusta Riverwalk and North Augusta Greeneway before reaching the historic streets of downtown Augusta. It's pretty flat and ends at the Augusta Common. Click here to see the Run Course.

Local Pro Tip:  The Riverwalk at St. Paul's is a great place to catch the action. Be sure to make your own sign and join the fun!
