The Asia-Pacific IRONMAN circuit has grown into one of the sport's most geographically diverse regions, spanning tropical islands, alpine lakes, and major coastal cities.
Our Asia-Pacific lineup includes Busselton, Port Macquarie, Cairns, and the retired Melbourne race in Australia; Waikato in New Zealand; Langkawi in Malaysia; Subic Bay in the Philippines; Penghu in Taiwan; and Hokkaido along with the separately listed South Hokkaido race in Japan. Further north, we also carry patches from Gurye and the retired Jeju race in South Korea.
Busselton in particular has become a rite of passage for many age-group athletes chasing a Kona qualification, while Cairns offers one of the more scenic, humid, and demanding courses on the calendar. The retired Melbourne and Jeju patches are worth grabbing while stock lasts, since neither race currently appears on the active IRONMAN calendar.
If your collection skews toward races you've traveled internationally for, this region alone can anchor an entire shadow box — a genuinely global spread from a single corner of the world's race calendar.
