In the world of triathlon, certain events capture the imagination and ambition of athletes worldwide, and the IRONMAN 70.3 Latin American Championship is undoubtedly one of those pinnacle experiences. Set against the stunning backdrop of Florianópolis, Brazil, this championship has been a beacon of athletic prowess and community spirit for over two decades. In 2025, this tradition will continue with renewed vigor as the Itaú BBA IRONMAN 70.3 Florianópolis takes center stage on October 26, promising a festival of endurance and personal triumph.
Carlos Galvão, the dynamic CEO of Unlimited Sports, which operates the IRONMAN events in Brazil, shared his enthusiasm about the upcoming championship. "2025 is shaping up to be an extraordinary year for triathlon in Brazil," he remarked. "Hosting both the Itaú BBA IRONMAN Brazil and the IRONMAN 70.3 Latin American Championship in Florianópolis not only highlights the city's pivotal role in our triathlon community but also sets the stage for a season of spectacular competition and camaraderie."

"Bringing the IRONMAN 70.3 Latin American Championship back to Brazil is a testament to Florianópolis's exceptional ability to host world-class events. Each year, the city has raised the bar, providing athletes with an unparalleled race experience," she stated.
The event will unfold at the picturesque Praia dos Ingleses, where athletes will embark on a 1.2-mile swim in crystal-clear waters, followed by a 56-mile bike ride through breathtaking landscapes, and culminate with a 13.1-mile run along the scenic coastline. This course is not just a test of endurance but a journey through some of the most visually stunning environments that Brazil has to offer.
