The host city has guaranteed a smooth staging of the 1.9km ocean swim, 90km bike and 21.1km run event.
The event will start at the beaches of The Mactan Newtown property in Lapu-Lapu City and will take the athletes towards the heritage streets of the Mactan Island, with the iconic CCLEX Bridge towards Cebu City and back to Lapu-Lapu City serving as the bike course for the second straight time.

At 52 meters above the Mactan Channel, the CCLEX provided a scenic view for the participants in the 2022 Ironman 70.3 Philippines with August Benedicto and Ines Santiago sharing top honors.
Cebu also hosted the Ironman 70.3 Asia Pacific Championship in 2016 and 2018. This race has also won a number of international and national awards, including the Best Spectator Race in the World, voted by athletes in 2018 at the 40th year of the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
