IRONMAN Laoag
IRONMAN 70.3 Laoag is on 14 March 2027 in Ilocos Norte, at the northern end of Luzon in the Philippines. Standard half distance: 1.9 km swim, 90 km bike, 21.1 km run.
Ilocos is a long way from Manila, and that is the first thing to plan around. Laoag has an airport with domestic flights, but schedules are limited and the alternative is a long overnight drive north. Build in a spare day either side rather than arriving the day before.
March sits in the dry season here, which is the good news. The rest of it is heat and exposure: this is a coastal province with strong sun and open road, and the run is where that lands.
The region itself is worth the trip beyond the race, with Spanish colonial towns and a coastline that sees far fewer visitors than the southern islands.
