IRONMAN Punta del Este
IRONMAN 70.3 Punta del Este is on 7 March 2027 on the Uruguayan coast, where the Atlantic meets the Río de la Plata. The 1.9 km swim is coastal, the 90 km bike is hilly, and the 21.1 km run works the seafront.
Do not read the beach-resort setting as an easy course. The bike here has real climbing in it, and a hilly 90 km followed by a run in exposed coastal wind is a harder combination than the flat South American races in this part of the calendar.
Early March is the end of the southern summer and the tail of the Uruguayan holiday season, so the town is still busy and accommodation is priced accordingly. Booking early is the difference between staying near transition and staying a long drive out.
Most athletes fly into Montevideo and drive about two hours, or connect through Buenos Aires and cross the river.
