Kona Lite 2026
Explore every step of the Hawaii Ironman course, complete a lap of the Big Island and compete in the Kona 70.3. What more could you ask for?
Epic Camp “lite” Kona is a unique opportunity to experience the legend that is the Big Island. If you aspire to qualify for the Ironman World Champs you can check out what that race is really about. Equally if qualifying is currently beyond your abilities not only do you get to cover the entire course in training and the 70.3, you also get a vacation in a spectacular part of the world.
The camp leader will be 2017 Hawaii 70.3 Champion John Newsom
