IRONMAN 70.3 South Africa Rescheduled

By

PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa – In response to the recent developments around the COVID-19 pandemic in the country, the South African Government has announced further limitations on indoor and outdoor gatherings which includes the closure of beaches around the country. In light of these new restrictions, and in alignment with the Buffalo City Municipality, we regret to announce that the IRONMAN 70.3 South Africa cannot take place on January 24, 2021 and has been rescheduled for September 5, 2021. We share in the disappointment and thank our athletes for their patience and understanding. Our team will continue to develop and refine operational plans with local authorities and agencies in a manner that is consistent with local community objectives and follows guidelines and recommendations set by public health entities as it relates to COVID-19.

Athletes that are registered for the event will receive an e-mail with further information. While we are prevented from holding the event on the original event date, we are looking forward to providing athletes with an exceptional race experience in September.
