IRONMAN Goa
IRONMAN 70.3 Goa runs on 1 November 2026. The 1.9 km swim starts off Miramar Beach where the Mandovi meets the Arabian Sea, the 90 km bike crosses the Zuari Bridge and turns back, and the 21.1 km run heads out to the Governor's Palace before returning to Miramar.
The date puts you a few weeks past the monsoon. Mornings are workable, but the humidity never really lifts, and by the time most age-groupers are into the second half of the run the heat is what you are racing. Plan the run around aid stations rather than around a pace target.
Travel is the other thing to sort early. Most international athletes connect through Mumbai or Delhi, India requires a visa arranged in advance, and domestic baggage allowances are tight enough that a bike case needs checking with the airline before you book.
