Vineman Iron Man 70.3

The 2008 Vineman Ironman 70.3 Triathlon (formerly the Half Vineman Triathlon) will be a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run triathlon which will be a qualifier for the 2008 Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Clearwater, Fl. This event has become one of the most popular and highly competitive triathlons in the world. In 2008 we will be limiting the field of entries to 2000 athletes.

The Vineman Ironman 70.3 Triathlon will be held on July 20th, 2008 in Sonoma County, California (about one hour north of San Francisco). The event consists of a 1.2 mile swim, a 56 mile bike, and a 13.1 mile run. The point-to-point event begins at Johnsons Beach in Guerneville and takes entrants past literally hundreds of vineyards and dozens of wineries before it finishes up in at Windsor High School (just north of Santa Rosa). The course is a tour of Sonoma County's beautiful wine country, passing through four different grape growing regions: the Russian River Region, the Dry Creek Valley, the Alexander Valley, and Chalk Hill.

If you aren't one of the more than 18,000 athletes from around the world who has experienced this great event, we welcome you to join us for this 18th annual event. If you are a Vineman veteran, we look forward to seeing you again this year and adding another finisher medal to your collection!
