The Ironman 70.3 Floripa 2026 takes place this Sunday, October 18th, and brings a historic change to triathlon in Santa Catarina. After six editions at Praia dos Ingleses, the competition debuts in Jurer\u00ea Internacional, the same setting that hosted the full-distance Ironman Brazil in May. The elite women's race starts at 5:45 am, and the athletes will face 113 kilometers of swimming, cycling, and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just over a month ago, we talked about how training was beginning<\/a>, following the preparations for October's event. At that time, the focus was on training, discipline and the anticipation of those preparing for the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the time has come!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time with a half-distance competition, athletes from different regions of Brazil and abroad, a professional women's race and slots for the 2027 World Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is the Ironman 70.3 Floripa 2026 a historic edition?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main news is in the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For six editions, Praia dos Ingleses hosted the Ironman 70.3 Florian\u00f3polis. In 2026, the race moves to Jurer\u00ea Internacional, bringing together for the first time, in the same year and the same neighborhood, the two major distances of the Ironman circuit held in the state capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May, Jurer\u00ea hosted the Ironman Brasil<\/a>, covering 226 kilometers. Now, in October, the neighborhood is preparing for this 113-kilometer challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change brings the Ironman 70.3 closer to a place that already holds a special place in the history of Brazilian triathlon. After all, Jurer\u00ea has for decades welcomed athletes arriving in Florian\u00f3polis to compete in one of the most traditional races in the discipline in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organization itself presents the move as a new chapter for the competition, thus highlighting the opportunity to host the 70.3 in the setting made famous by the Ironman Brasil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also an important change for those who live in the neighborhood. In less than five months, Jurer\u00ea will host two international competitions that mobilize athletes, teams, families and spectators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between the Ironman 70.3 and the full Ironman?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The number 70.3 corresponds to the total distance of the race in miles. That is why the competition is known as Half Ironman, or half-distance Ironman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironman 70.3: 113 km<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
