IRONMAN 70.3 Davao Philippines.
Your best day in Davao City.
Davao will have two IRONMAN distances on the same weekend in 2027. That can make the race feel bigger, but your own task is still a half: swim calmly, spend 90 km sensibly and leave something for the run. The other race has its own demands.

Your day in Davao City
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 Davao City could look like.
The course behind your race
Different distances. Run your own race.
Recent half-distance courses have used Talomo Bay and city-coastal roads, with changes towards Davao Bukidnon Road. Those routes have already shifted between editions. Prepare to handle the heat, turns and repeated efforts, but use the final 70.3 map rather than following the new full-distance race.

Establish the power you can hold
With no hills to force pacing discipline, it's easy to override on this flat coastal route. Hold your number regardless of how easy it feels.
Cap opening effort. Fuel early.

Keep the half-marathon in the calculation
Repeat the first lap's effort and finish planned nutrition before the two-loop run.
Stay patient. Finish planned nutrition.
Davao half marathon, opening kilometres
Start without letting the crowd set pace
Let the first coastal loop feel easy, not fast, and manage the heat from the start.
Easy first aid station. Check posture.

Run the race you actually have left
Only progress once the first loop has held together.
Stay tall. Choose the last move late.
What to check in race week
Get the 2027 half-specific swim, bike and run routes and start time. Check whether Talomo Bay, the Coastal Road or the Davao Bukidnon Road revision is used, plus the actual turns, closures, aid and transitions. The shared weekend doesn't mean the two races share a bike loop.

Your plan, in race week
Prepare for Davao City
Build the legs.
Practise the decisions.
A finish range gives you something to work towards. The preparation is specific to this race: a controlled sea start, measured coastal riding and a patient first run section stay useful even if the 2027 city roads change.
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 Davao City.
