IRONMAN 70.3 Punta del Este.
Race Punta del Este on your terms.
Playa Mansa, the road towards Punta Ballena and a run along the Rambla make Punta del Este a coastline worth racing. The view can distract you from what a strong half marathon actually costs. Save your best move for the run.

Your day in Punta del Este
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 Punta del Este could look like.
The course behind your race
A coastal race with more to offer than a fast bike.
The previous course began at Playa Mansa, rolled towards Punta Ballena and returned for a waterfront run. Those landmarks make a compelling race preview, but the exact 2027 day and course haven't been confirmed together. Plan your effort while the final route catches up.
Punta Ballena, earlier bike terrain
Set a firm ceiling for any climbing
The exposed coastal route toward Punta Ballena Hill tempts chasing the scenery. Hold a steady effort against whatever wind is blowing.
Cap opening effort. Fuel early.
Punta del Este coast, bike return
Allow the wind to alter speed without chasing it
Repeat the first loop's effort and finish planned nutrition before the coastal city run.
Stay patient. Finish planned nutrition.
Rambla, opening run setting
Keep the first waterfront kilometres comfortable
Let the first coastal city loop feel easy, not fast.
Easy first aid station. Check posture.
Calle 30 area, previous finish
Choose a late move only if the pace is holding
Only progress once the first loop has held together.
Stay tall. Choose the last move late.
What to check in race week
Confirm whether the March 2027 race is on the 7th or 8th; current schedules disagree by a day. Then check the final Playa Mansa start, Punta Ballena bike roads, Rambla run turns, transitions and aid. The detailed route description belongs to 2026.
