Official website: ironman.com/races/im703-encarnacion
Ironman Encarnacion 70.3 is a 70.3 (half-distance) triathlon in Paraguay, part of the Ironman calendar. The next edition is on 11 October 2026. The course is 1.9 km of swimming, 90 km on the bike and 10 km of running.
Climbing adds up to 925 m, 919 m on the bike and 6 m on the run, a moderate amount for the distance. The course is described as flat.
Water temperature is typically around 26 °C, above the 24.5 °C limit, so wetsuits are not permitted for age-group athletes.
Pacer Quest rates Ironman Encarnacion 70.3 as Medium: 925 m of climbing (moderate); water 26 °C (no wetsuit); finishers -3% faster than the average 70.3. The rating is automatic and compares total climbing for the distance, water temperature and, where results exist, how finishers compare with the average for that distance.
At the 2025 edition, 50 qualifying slots were shared among 370 ranked finishers, with slots allocated by age-graded rank under IRONMAN's performance-based system. For example, a M40-44 athlete needed roughly 4:53:42 and a F40-44 athlete needed roughly 4:48:35 to be inside the line.
