Authentic Augusta SPOTLIGHT: IRONMAN 70.3 #IM703AUGUSTA Augusta is home to one of the largest Ironman 70.3 competitions in North America. Each year, participants complete an incredible feat - and their energy and determination energize the city all week long. Score a primo sideline seat with this handy list: The Swim: Athletes swim for 1.2 miles with the current in the Savannah River. Get a scenic view of the water and the swimmers at the 5th Street Bridge. The Bike: Competitors bike a whopping 56 miles from the Augusta Rowing Complex, through South Augusta, and back. The best viewing places are along East Boundary and Greene streets. The Run: The half-marathon-length run - that's 13.1 miles - ends at the Augusta Common downtown. We suggest staying on 9th Street; from there, you can walk over a few blocks in many directions while runners loop through downtown, and you're close to the finish line.
