Announcement:The inaugural IRONMAN 70.3 Washington takes place in the quaint suburban town of Maple Valley, Washington, southwest of Seattle. This event takes place around Lake Wilderness Park and is a must-do, early fall event for athletes looking to round out their season.  Showcasing a stunning course, athletes will start their day in the calm waters of Lake Wilderness, navigate back-roads while taking on rolling hills through rural towns, and then enjoy a shaded and flat trail along the water with views of Mount Rainier. Nothing says “Evergreen State” quite like this new race.
