in ensuring that this event is a great success year after year.
We are looking forward to delivering another fantastic event in 2019 as we welcome you to the
stunning beach front town of Mooloolaba. Key course features are still in place, which will take you
on a challenging and scenic journey through the Sunshine Coast.
The Swim Course will again take place within pristine waters of Mooloolaba Beach. Once you’ve

back into Mooloolaba to venture up the coast towards Maroochydore. The Run Course will stretch
from Mooloolaba to Cotton Tree giving athletes one of most picturesque run courses in Australia.
We are set and ready for another fantastic race on the Sunshine Coast and are looking forward to
seeing you throughout the weekend. New for 2019, we’ve added and IRONKIDS Race! This race will
be a run only course with three distances on offer: 500m (family wave), 1km (6-10 year old wave),
and 2km (11-13 year old wave). This will be a perfect opportunity to get the family together for
some pre-race fun in the sun on Saturday morning. We are also bringing back our Meet the Pros
session. This will take place on the main stage in Expo on Saturday.
Please ensure that you read this Athlete Information Guide thoroughly as there is not a formal
athlete briefing. If you have any questions, please make sure to attend one of the two scheduled
Race Director Q&A Sessions. Check the event schedule for details. Whether this is your first-time
racing IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast or you are a seasoned athlete, I hope you have a tremendous
race and an enjoyable time on the Sunshine Coast. The Sunshine Coast community is ready and
waiting to support you during your IRONMAN 70.3 journey. The towns and regions surrounding

except within sight of an Aid Station
A Technical Official will advise you of any time Penalty by calling your number, advising you of the
nature of the infringement and showing you a BLUE Card. It will be then your responsibility to serve
the 5-minute time Penalty(s) at the next Penalty Box.
