“We are truly delighted to partner with IRONMAN Sri Lanka once again. IRONMAN brings together a remarkable international community, and we are honoured to play a central role in welcoming athletes and their families to Colombo,” said Tarek Medhat, Director of Sales and Marketing at Shangri-La Colombo “The event shines a spotlight on Sri Lanka as a world-class destination for sports and adventure tourism. We are proud to support an event that not only challenges athletes but also celebrates Sri Lanka on a global stage.”
Athletes can enjoy specially crafted dining experiences such as carb-loading menus at Table One, along with early race-day breakfasts tailored to their schedules. Post-training and post-race recovery will be supported through targeted sports therapies at Chi, The Spa, while the 24-hour Health Club provides continuous access for stretching or last-minute preparations.
“Shangri-La Colombo played an invaluable role in elevating the IRONMAN 70.3 experience in 2018 and 2019. Their commitment to athlete-centric hospitality is unmatched. This partnership allows participants to focus purely on their race, and we know the athletes will benefit immensely from the convenience, care, and atmosphere the hotel creates throughout race week,” said Yasas Hewage, Director, Serendib Multisport, Organiser of Race The Pearl and IRONMAN 70.3 Colombo.
