Ironman 70.3 Coeur d’Alene returns Sunday, June 22, 2025—and it’s one of the most scenic and athlete‑friendly races in North America. Set against the backdrop of pristine Lake Coeur d’Alene, the half‑Ironman challenges participants with a 1.2‑mile swim, a 56‑mile hilly bike and a 13.1‑mile run through historic lakeside neighborhoods.
My name is Jillian, and I have been an editor and writer here in Coeur d’Alene since 2006, during which time I’ve had the opportunity to work for nine publications across North Idaho, into Spokane and as far as Gig Harbor, Washington. I am grateful to have the opportunity to now focus all my attention, energy and passion on my local community, finding and sharing heartfelt stories, spotlighting the incredible people, showcasing local businesses, organizations and nonprofits, and of course highlighting the many wonderful events our area has to offer.
