Calling all fitspos (or wannabe fitspos!).
This weekend, Ironman is coming to Tasmania. If you don’t know what that means, it’s a huge race where a bunch of fit people swim 1.9kms, bike for 90kms and run for 21.1kms – for fun!?
It’s all happening on Sunday morning, with the first race kicking off at 6:25am from Brooke Street Pier. The transition area and race finish is at PW1.
A bunch of our amazing local businesses are putting on a number of special deals to make sure the competitors and all-important spectators are kept fuelled and caffeinated.
If you’re in the area or coming down to spectate or are simply just planning to seize the day, make sure you support these businesses and grab a great deal or an Ironman sandwich (dw, you don’t have to have competed – we’ve already checked).
