Set against the backdrop of New England's picturesque landscapes, the IRONMAN 70.3 Western Massachusetts offers athletes a unique blend of urban charm and rural beauty. The race begins with a swift 1.2-mile swim in the Connecticut River, benefiting from a gentle current to aid swimmers. Cyclists then embark on a 56-mile journey through the rolling hills and quaint farms of the Berkshire region, providing both challenge and breathtaking views. The final leg is a 13.1-mile run that weaves through Springfield's historic Forest Park and concludes in the heart of downtown, offering a vibrant finish line atmosphere.
