On September 19, 2010, the inaugural race of Ironman 70.3 will take place in the popular vacation destination of Branson, Missouri. The Ironman 70.3 Branson will serve as one of the 34 worldwide qualifying events for the 2010 Foster Grant Ironman World Championship 70.3 in Clearwater, Florida. Professional athletes will be competing for a $25,000 prize. I would like to take part of the event while at the same time enjoying the pampered luxury of staying at Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel would be a memorable experience for me and my husband.

The 1.2-mile swim will be held in the crystal clear waters of Table Rock Lake in the shadow of the host hotel, Chateau on the Lake Resort, Spa & Convention Center. The transition area will be located on the grounds of Moonshine Beach. Following the swim, athletes will cover a challenging 56-mile bike course through the rolling hills of the Ozark Mountains. Athletes will then transition to a flat, spectator-friendly, two-loop 13.1 mile run course to complete the 70.3 miles triathlon event.

Staying at the hotel while the race is going-on, provides me and my husband an easy access to all the activities before and after the event. And not only that, both the finish line and awards ceremony will be held directly across the street at the Fountains of Branson Landing.


Aside from Ironman 70.3 event, Branson offers vacationists to explore the shops, boutiques, restaurants, river walk, and other beautiful attractions like Branson's golf courses, lakes(Taneycomo and Table Rock), museums(Titanic Museum, etc), and 49 live entertainment, fine restaurants, and more. Definitely this will be a memorable vacation for everyone. Check it out and book in advance to avail its special offers. Think of the luxury services you will enjoy at the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel at the same time enjoying the Ironman 70.3 Branson event, and other spectacular attractions around the community.
