Don’t let the slow pace of life in Oregon fool you; the Beaver state has some high-speed tricks up its sleeve. From the nearly vertical ski slopes of Mount Hood, to the wild and scenic rivers that criss-cross the state, there is no shortage of opportunities for fast-paced thrills in Oregon—and IRONMAN 70.3 Oregon is no exception. Boasting one of the fastest swims on the IRONMAN 70.3 circuit, this wildly popular race calls first-timers and PR-seekers alike to Salem, where they’ll find a blazing-fast 1.2-mile swim in the Willamette River, a 56-mile ride through Oregon’s scenic wine country, and a flat 13.1-mile run on paved and shaded park trails!

The swim was fast and great. You have to be aware that the first 200 m are very shallow and you should not stop and try to stand. Keep swimming toward the downriver current and let it go. The transition area was good, but I would have added more bathrooms. The bike area is flat with a few hills….I prefer the hills. I would have like to have a much better control of the traffic. There were several closed calls when cars passed too fast or near the shoulder of the rode. Now, the run is OK…but I am not fan of multiple loops courses. There are many areas of shade a that was very good. Volunteers were great and made the whole experience unforgettable.
Great fast, flat course

The bike was very scenic and flat, only 1 or 2 punchy hills.
Run is in a park so not great spectator support but aid stations were great and a lot was shaded
