IRONMAN 70.3 St. George

The swim will be held at the scenic Sand Hollow State Park in Hurricane, Utah. The one–loop swim course will take place in the beautiful blue water of Sand Hollow Reservoir. The water temperature is expected to be between 60 and 64 degrees Fahrenheit.

The swim will feature a rolling start.

Starting at Sand Hollow Reservoir athletes will exit transition and will ride out and around the backside of the reservoir into the City of Hurricane, then along State Route 9 back towards Washington and St. George. With rolling hills in the first half of the race athletes will experience great scenery and a dynamic course. The back half of the course heads through St. George and along a flat fast section before tackling the signature climb through Snow Canyon State Park. This climb is draped in spectacular views and the reward at the top where it's downhill all the way back to St. George!

After entering transition in St. George’s historic Town Square, athletes will begin the one-loop course that heads out on Diagonal and Bluff Street before climbing up Red Hills Parkway through the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve. The course offers an amazing view of the city while running along the bluff before returning to the finish line located on Main Street right in the heart of downtown St. George.
