IRONMAN Returns on Sunday 23 March 2014
Frankston City hosts one of IRONMAN’s most popular events again this year with over 2500 triathletes competing for a qualifying spot in the World Championships.
Plan your day by checking the maps for alternative travel routes and avoid Frankston’s city centre unless you’re planning to be an IRONMAN spectator! View the road closures and suggested detour information inside this issue – pages 12-13.
“This significant event is broadcast across South-East Asia and streamed globally, raising Frankston City’s international profile,” said the Mayor of Frankston City, Cr Darrel Taylor.
For more event information visit ironmanmelbourne.com or phone 1300 835 411.
“As with many major events, there are some road closures on the day, but there are plenty of vantage points to view the race if you come in to enjoy the event.” Come along to watch all the live action and show your support at Frankston Waterfront with the swim starting at 7.20am. Coffee vendors, barbecues and more will be at Frankston Waterfront so you can enjoy breakfast with a view. Cheer on the competitors as they exit the water from the swim leg into transition and then on to the 180 km bike course, at around 8.10am.
The first bike riders make their way back to transition to start the 42.2 km run to St Kilda, from around 12.30pm at Frankston Waterfront. Watch more cycling action as they turnaround at the Playne Street roundabout in the heart of Frankston’s city centre.
