IRONMAN Puerto Rico
IRONMAN 70.3 Puerto Rico is on 14 March 2027, with an ocean swim, a flat 90 km bike, and a 21.1 km run through the old streets of San Juan.
The run is the reason people come back. Running on the blue cobbles of Viejo San Juan past the fortifications is a genuinely different finish from the highway-and-beachfront pattern that most half-distance races settle into. Those cobbles are also uneven and hard underfoot, so it is not a course to race in worn-out shoes.
March in the Caribbean is warm and humid, and a flat bike course means you carry that heat rather than getting airflow from a fast descent.
For athletes travelling from the United States there is no passport requirement and no currency to change, which makes this one of the cheapest ways to get a genuinely tropical race on the calendar.
