The third annual IRONMAN 70.3 Raleigh, set for May 31, is another sellout. Athletes will be traveling from more than 40 states and nine countries to race. Last year's event brought more than 5,000 visitors to Greater Raleigh and generated more than $1 million in direct visitor spending. IRONMAN 70.3 Raleigh was recently voted as the best IRONMAN 70.3 event in the world by participating athletes, giving it the 2014 Global Athlete Satisfaction Award.
