The average water temperature of 24°C, which is below the permissible wetsuit use for age group athletes.

BIKE

RUN

Many spectators line the half marathon run course to cheer athletes all the way to the finish line, which in its own right is one of the many treasured features of IRONMAN 70.3 Rwanda!
