Over 1,600 athletes set for IRONMAN 70.3 Hefei challenge

IRONMAN has announced that the entry limit has been reached for the 2016 Hefei Wanda City IRONMAN 70.3 Hefei triathlon, which will be held in Hefei, Anhui province on Oct 16, and registration is now closed.

Preparations for the event are proceeding smoothly and it is the first time that the world-famous IRONMAN 70.3 triathlon series has stopped in China after the brand was sold to Dalian Wanda Group last year.

Hefei is determined to use the event as a springboard to develop itself into a 'city of sports'.
