Event Update
The IRONMAN Oceania team would like to provide athletes, stakeholders and the local community with an update on the future of IRONMAN 70.3 Tasmania.
The team have been working through the 2025 race calendar for the region and can confirm that IRONMAN 70.3 Tasmania will not be taking place next year. We are hopeful that the event will return to the calendar in future years.
Tasmania is truly a beautiful place – from the deep-water start into the Derwent off the Brooke St Pier, to the first indoor transition in the region, the bike course with the most elevation in Oceania and the run taking in the historical Hobart waterfront, we really have created a course like no other.
The event team would like to thank athletes, the local community and event partners for their support of IRONMAN 70.3 Tasmania in its first two years. We will take time to review and look at options to make this race even better for the future. We look forward to welcoming you back to the most southern IRONMAN 70.3 race in the world and those of you that have yet to take on the challenge - you can start your training now.

Its a shame, Tassie was a really good event. The course was awesome, fantastic location, really easy to get there, indoor transition was good, novel swim start, relatively hilly ride but a pretty flat run. Well organised. We had accomodation on the pier beside the startline. I really couldn't speak more highly of it. I loved the 2023 event but sadly couldn't make it down this year. I'm disappointed it's not continuing as I would have loved to do it again. I liked the time of year because it gave me all Dec/Jan holidays to train on the hills for it.
