It’s the penultimate stop in the IRONMAN Pro Series on Sunday as IRONMAN 70.3 Western Australia takes centre stage.

There’s a maximum of 2,500 points towards the standings and a total pro prize purse of $75,000 up for grabs, plus the potential for some big changes at the top of the men’s season-long competition – read on to find out more.

The event takes place in Busselton and is the Asia-Pacific Championship and the perfect build in to the 70.3 Worlds which take place in New Zealand in a fortnight.

The 1.9km swim starts from the Busselton Foreshore and stays close to shore, meaning less exposure to the weather and better swim conditions.

Both the bike and run are flat and fast, with the former a one-lapper that heads along the coast initially, before entering the spectacular Tuart Forest. The half marathon features two laps which go east first before heading back to pass along the iconic Busselton Jetty.
