IRONMAN Calgary
IRONMAN 70.3 Calgary is a half-distance triathlon held in July at Cochrane, just west of Calgary, Alberta, in what the organiser calls Cowboy Country. Registration is through ironman.com.
The swim is a single loop in Ghost Lake, a freshwater lake about 15 minutes west of Cochrane, with a rolling start from the boat launch. The bike begins at Ghost Lake and rides through the foothills with views of the Rocky Mountains before reaching T2 at Cochrane's Historic Ranche. The organiser describes the bike course as rolling, with three stocked aid stations. The run is a two-loop path course with views of the Bow River, finishing at the Historic Ranche.
Typical July conditions are around 18 °C with a high chance of rain (about 64%), and mountain weather can turn quickly. The organiser also points visitors towards Banff National Park after the race.
