Hundreds compete in 113km Ironman race in Greater Victoria

  • The 2025 Victoria Ironman 70.3 took place early on May 25 with 872 participants racing in Greater Victoria, British Columbia.
  • Organizers cancelled the 1.9-kilometre swim due to an algal bloom, requiring competitors to race only a 90-kilometre bike ride and a 21.1-kilometre run.
  • The bike course went across the Saanich Peninsula, and the run looped around Elk and Beaver Lakes, with the run featuring challenging gravel sections.
  • George Hoffman from Los Angeles finished first with a time of 3:32:44, calling the racecourse extremely challenging yet stunning, and noted it as the most impressive course he has experienced in his racing career.
  • The race tested athletes’ endurance, especially on the run; Hoffman and local Julien Forgeois called it a high-calibre competition with unique challenges.
