Ironman Australia & Ironman 70.3 Triathlon 2011 Port Macquarie Dates Announced

The 2011 Ironman Australia and Ironman 70.3 Port Macquarie will take place on Sunday, May 1, 2011. Registration for both events will open exactly one year before race day, Saturday, May 1, 2010, at noon AEST.

With the successful conclusion of the 2010 Urban Hotel Group Ironman Australia event last weekend, all Ironman events in Australia will now be directly operated by World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) through its Australia-based staff. WTC would like to thank the entire IMG crew for its stewardship of the Ironman brand in Australia over the last 15 years.

Further information will be added to the Ironman Australia and Western Australia Web sites in the coming weeks, to include course details, race week schedules and more.
