Tri Travel Ironman Melbourne Tour 2012
The 2012 Ironman Asia Pacific Championship will be held for the first time
in Melbourne on Sunday March 25, 2012.
The inaugural event will see athletes swim 3.8km in the bay off Frankston, ride the incredibly fast EastLink Tollway for 180km and run the old Melbourne marathon course from Frankston to St Kilda, finishing at the St Kilda Sea Baths.
To assist you to have the best race possible Tri Travel have enlisted the help of local Ironman legend “Jimmy Noutsis” to everyone all that Melbourne has to offer.
From riding down Beach Road, to sipping lattes at Café Racer, Jimmy will help you have your best race week experience possible.
The tour will help you with the logistical challenges by arranging private buses to bike check-in and race start, as well as helping the spectators see the best parts of the course on race day.
