About

Race in Paradise — Set in the heart of Tropical North Queensland, with the iconic Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest nearby, IRONMAN Cairns features a palm-tree-lined beach start, a completely closed coastal highway for the bike, and a flat, fun run course along the main strip of Cairns.

Pacers

PACE PACER GUIDELINES — Find your target times by Start Wave (Net Time) on race day at the transition area: Pacers will be active in waves corresponding to designed target times; look for Pacer flag colors at T1 and on the bike segment. For your pacing group, follow the designated pacers and use the transition area signage to align with your wave start and target net finish time.
