IRONMAN 70.3 Da Nang.
Race Da Nang on your terms.
Da Nang gives you the sea, coastal roads and a city that comes alive around a triathlon. The bike can tempt you into riding as though the run will look after itself. Keep your own effort measured, whatever the longer race on the same weekend is doing.
Da Nang, the urban skyline and coastline.

Your day in Da Nang
What could you race?
I’m Tom, the coach behind Sense Endurance Coaching. Tell me where you are now and I’ll show you what a strong day in Da Nang could look like.
The course behind your race
The coast gives the setting. You decide the effort.
Earlier Da Nang half-distance races used a sea start near East Sea Park and roads crossing the city's bridge corridors. The 2027 edition shares a weekend with a new full-distance event, but its exact half course remains separate and unconfirmed. Prepare for coastal heat, turns and a half marathon you want to run well.
Da Nang coastal roads, opening bike stage
Choose effort before you reach a rise
The Man Quang and Thuan Phuoc Bridges are real climbs. Pace them by effort rather than pushing for speed.
Cap opening effort. Fuel early.
Da Nang 70.3 bike return, route pending
Keep the run in mind as you ride home
Finish planned nutrition on the return leg before the two-loop coastal run.
Stay patient. Finish planned nutrition.
Da Nang half marathon, opening kilometres
Run into your rhythm, not into the clock
Let the first coastal loop feel easy, not fast.
Easy first aid station. Check posture.
Da Nang half marathon, closing kilometres
Raise the effort only if form and cooling hold
Only progress once the first loop has held together.
Stay tall. Choose the last move late.
What to check in race week
Use the 2027 half-distance course, not the new full IRONMAN route or an older Da Nang map. Confirm the sea entry and buoys, bridge and coast-road turns, transitions, separate start waves, aid and run laps. Plan cooling for race-day conditions rather than assumed weather.

Your plan, in race week
Prepare for Da Nang
Build the legs.
Practise the decisions.
A finish range gives you something to work towards. The preparation is specific to this race: steady effort in open water and on urban coastal roads, followed by a half marathon started conservatively, become familiar enough to withstand a changed race route.
I’m Tom. With Sense Endurance Coaching, I’ll build that preparation around your life, follow how you respond and adjust the work as you get closer to Da Nang.
