Ironman, known for its long-distance triathlon races, is coming to Happy Valley. Show A 70.3-mile triathlon that consists of a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and 13.1-mile run — also known as a Half Ironman — will kick off July 2, 2023. It will be the only such race in Pennsylvania, and Happy Valley will host it for the next three years, with the possibility of extending it even longer. The announcement for the inaugural Ironman 70.3 Pennsylvania Happy Valley Triathlon was made at Beaver Stadium on Thursday morning, involving a mixture of government officials, Ironman officials and representatives from both Happy Valley Adventure Bureau and Penn State. “When we try to identify a community that we want to host a race in, it’s very important that we find someone that has the passion, and the commitment, and that core value to us, which is anything is possible,” said Drew Wolff, regional director for The Ironman Group. “And it’s here in State College. It’s here in Happy Valley. And so we can’t be more excited to call this home now.”

What is a respectable time for an Ironman?Since the Ironman is a grueling race, anything under the 17 hour cut off mark is an achievement. For those in the age group of 30-35, 13 hours for men and 14 hours for women are satisfactory. The same applies to the Ironman 70.3 series. For the age group of 35-39, a good time is six hours for men and seven for women.
