Middle course

The Middle Distance Triathlon, often referred to as the Half Ironman or 70.3 (reflecting the total race distance in miles), is a challenging endurance event that sits between the Olympic distance and the full Ironman triathlon in terms of length and difficulty. It's a popular distance for athletes looking to step up from the Olympic distance or prepare for the full Ironman challenge.

This format tests athletes' endurance, speed, and transition skills, requiring a significant training commitment to prepare effectively.
