IRONMAN 70.3 Pennsylvania Happy Valley is scheduled for May 23, 2027 in State College, Pennsylvania. The event features a swim in Foster Sayers Reservoir at Bald Eagle State Park, a bike segment that runs through rural rolling roads in central Pennsylvania, and a run that passes through the Penn State University campus and around Beaver Stadium, finishing just outside the stadium in the finish line chute. The run course was revised after 2024 athlete feedback to route competitors around Beaver Stadium and alter the finish area.

The race is presented as a North American Championship pro event and is noted as accessible for free. It was also ranked third in the IRONMAN Athletes' Choice Awards for Best Race in North America based on athlete surveys. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
