IRONMAN makes its much anticipated return to Langkawi Island
in September 2014. Located within a cluster of tropical islands that attract
visitors the world over, the race will take athletes on a truly Malaysian
cultural journey through tropical, hilly and demanding terrain passing traditional
kampungs (villages), mangrove clusters and rainforest vistas.
IRONMAN Malaysia Experience
The ocean swim starts from a sandy beach on Legenda Park
with a two-loop triangle out to Eagle Point and back. A two-loop bike course
heads out of Kuah town on to an anti-clockwise loop from the Southeast up
around Gunung Raya mountain and into the northwest. Athletes return to Kuah
town for the run: four loops that wind through Legenda Park, market places and
the local stadium before returning to cross the line at Dataran Lang where the
giant eagle sculpture creates a formidable backdrop for this already imposing
finish line.
There are 40 qualifying slots to the 2015 IRONMAN World
Championship in Kaliua-Kona, Hawaii.
