Cap Cana offers the perfect setting for this demanding competition, combining crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches and lush tropical landscapes. Athletes will face a challenge comprised of three disciplines:

"The Dominican Republic is a place where sport and nature converge in perfect harmony. The IRONMAN® 70.3® Cap Cana not only challenges athletes to push their limits, but also allows them to discover the hospitality, dream beaches and vibrant culture that make this country an incomparable destination in the Caribbean," said Wilber Anderson, CEO of SBR SPORTS, the company organizing the event.
For his part, Minister David Collado highlights the consolidation that the Dominican Republic is achieving as a sports destination, where the IRONMAN® 70.3® Cap Cana event is not only a meeting place for high-level athletes but also promotes tourism in the area. This is how the country is projected as a stage for this type of competition, thanks to the geographic conditions of the Caribbean country.
The IRONMAN® 70.3® Cap Cana not only represents a high-level sporting challenge, but also strengthens the positioning of the Dominican Republic as a privileged destination for sports tourism.
