IRONMAN Pucon
IRONMAN 70.3 Pucón is on 10 January 2027 in the Chilean lake district, with the 1.9 km swim in the lake, a 90 km bike over rolling hills, and a 21.1 km run back in town under the Villarrica volcano.
This is one of the longest-running half-distance races in South America and it has a following to match, both in the local field and among athletes who come south for the summer. January is high season in Pucón, which means warm days, a full town and accommodation that needs booking months out.
The bike is the part to respect. Rolling terrain over 90 km adds up in a way a flat course does not, and the lake water is cold enough that the swim is a wetsuit swim even in midsummer.
Reaching Pucón means Santiago, then a flight to Temuco and about an hour and a half by road.
