Once they make it back to the reservoir, the run commences, and spectators can watch from there until the runners make it to the finish line at Canyon Blvd and 13th Street. IRONMAN-related events begin Friday the 8th through Monday the 11th, and include a Pro-Athlete Panel, a kick-off party, and an awards ceremony.
