IRONMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNS IN MAY 2022 WITH FIRST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OUTSIDE HAWAI`I BEFORE RETURNING TO KONA IN OCTOBER WITH FIRST-EVER TWO-DAY FORMAT

– St. George, Utah “Rises To It” Once Again, Becoming Host For The 2021 Supersapiens IRONMAN World Championship presented by Utah Sports Commission Taking Place On May 7, 2022 —

— World Championship Then Returns to Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i For First-Ever Two-Day IRONMAN World Championship on Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022, & Saturday, Oct. 8, 2022 —

TAMPA, Fla. (Sept. 23, 2021) – IRONMAN, in collaboration with both Greater Zion and St. George, Utah officials and local and state Hawai`i officials, announced today that the IRONMAN<sup>®</sup> World Championship<sup>®</sup>will move outside of Hawai`i for the first time, taking place in St. George, Utah on May 7, 2022, prior to returning to Kona, Hawai`i with a new two-day race format on October 6 and 8, 2022.

St. George, Utah Becomes First-Ever Host of IRONMAN World Championship Outside of Hawai`i

The 2021 Supersapiens IRONMAN World Championship will take place in St. George, Utah, on May 7, 2022, giving professional triathletes the opportunity to claim a world championship title and a share of the $750,000 prize purse that goes with it. The ongoing uncertainty regarding Kailua-Kona, Hawaii`s ability to host the event in February required a change in venue to outside of Hawai`i for the first time since the inaugural event in 1978.

St. George was selected as the first new host location of the event outside of Hawai`i in 40-plus years based on its strong community support, challenging course, and experience hosting IRONMAN^® triathlons and other major events, including the successful recently completed 2021 Intermountain Healthcare IRONMAN 70.3^® World Championship presented by Utah Sports Commission. St. George will also host the 2022 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship on October 28-29, 2022.

“The honor to host the first IRONMAN World Championship outside of Hawai`i is as humbling as it is thrilling. There are few events that hold the prestige and respect of the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona,” said Kevin Lewis, Director of the Greater Zion Convention & Tourism Office. “I think we understand the weight and responsibility we now have to carry forward the cherished significance of the IRONMAN World Championship and we don’t take that responsibility lightly. We have the deepest respect for the IRONMAN World Championship’s legacy in Hawai`i and all that has gone on before – the passion, the dreams, the gut-wrenching persistence, and the human spirit of caring for one another as we push forward to be the best version of ourselves. Hosting the IRONMAN World Championship here gives us the opportunity to truly honor that legacy with our own brand of enduring success, and once again I’m certain we will rise to it.”

“We are fortunate to have built such a strong and trusted relationship with our friends in the greater St. George region over the past 10-plus years,” said Andrew Messick, President & Chief Executive Officer for The IRONMAN Group. “St. George stepped up to ensure IRONMAN athletes will have a 2021 world championship, even if delayed into 2022. We all just witnessed why this special place has been dubbed the ‘Land of Endurance’ and we are confident that we will have an outstanding championship in May.”

“Hosting the IRONMAN World Championship is yet another example of the Utah Sports Commission’s sport and Olympic legacy efforts that showcase globally why Utah is known as the State of Sport,” said Utah Sports Commission President and CEO, Jeff Robbins. “Together with our partners, we look forward to welcoming the world to Utah.”

“Events like the IRONMAN World Championship that attract athletes from every corner of the world are great examples of our state’s high level of engagement in global sport,” said Utah Governor, Spencer Cox. “The significant economic impact and the media value will be of great benefit to St. George, Washington County and the entire state.”

IRONMAN World Championship Returns to Kona in October 2022 with Two-Day Race Format

For the first time in the 40-plus year history of the IRONMAN World Championship, the pinnacle event for triathlon will take place over two days with the 2022 IRONMAN World Championship returning to Kona, Hawai`i on October 6 and 8, 2022. The two-day event will see an expanded women’s professional field of 50 athletes race on Thursday, October 6, and 50 professional men race on Saturday, October 8. Details of the age-group races will be communicated in the coming weeks.

“We expect the races in October of 2022 to be unique and historic,” said Messick. “Two days of racing in Kailua-Kona addresses the overwhelming demand from athletes to race in a World Championship and will allow us to host our deferred athletes and place more emphasis on showcasing our women’s and men’s professional races.”

“We are excited to work in collaboration with IRONMAN to bring two events home to Hawaiʻi Island in October of 2022,” said Hawai`i County Mayor, Mitch Roth. “As our island’s premier sporting event, IRONMAN has been a trusted community partner for over 40 years, and we’re ever grateful for their willingness and ability to adapt to our community’s needs and contribute to its vibrancy. That said, we would like to send a sincere mahalo to the city of St. George, Utah, for allowing IRONMAN competitors a stage to compete, as we ready our shores to welcome back our IRONMAN ʻohana in anticipation of next year’s events.”

“Hawaii Island, and Kona in particular, have had a wonderful 40-plus year relationship with IRONMAN and its origins,” said Ross Birch, Island of Hawai`i Visitors Bureau Executive Director. “While the iconic event has provided long-lasting economic benefits to our island, what’s sometimes missed is the transformation of Kona as a lifestyle destination because of IRONMAN. We are in full support of IRONMAN’s change to host a two-day race format that enables the opportunity for all qualifying athletes from the past two-plus years to compete as well as giving the local economy a chance to benefit and recoup lost tourism opportunities.”

“The loss of the past two IRONMAN World Championship races certainly dealt us an economic blow. Our restaurants have always received a big boost from the race, athletes, and their families. We are very excited to hear that with two races next October we can plan to make up for the economic losses from the past two race cancellations,” said Luana Hospitality Principal, Eric von Platen Luder

“It has been a challenging few years, however we have stayed true to our goal to create exceptional experiences for our ‘ohana,” said Diana Bertsch, Senior Vice President, World Championship Events for The IRONMAN Group. “We are grateful to our host communities in St. George and Kailua-Kona as well as their local and state officials, for their willingness to trust us. Our team is committed to putting on incredible race weeks as we add pages to the IRONMAN World Championship history books in May and October 2022.”

IRONMAN athletes registered for the 2021 and 2022 editions of the IRONMAN World Championship triathlon, along with athletes currently registered for 2022 IRONMAN St. George, will be contacted directly with additional information.

GUSTAV IDEN (NOR) AND LUCY CHARLES-BARCLAY (GBR) UTILIZE DOMINANT PERFORMANCES TO TAKE THE TITLES AT THE INTERMOUNTAIN HEALTHCARE IRONMAN 70.3 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY UTAH SPORTS COMMISSION

ST. GEORGE, Utah (September 18, 2021) – After two-years of anticipation for a world championship event, St. George, Utah, took the global spotlight this week as fans and athletes alike witnessed the remarkable lineup of pro athletes at the 2021 Intermountain Healthcare IRONMAN^® 70.3^® World Championship presented by Utah Sports Commission. Featuring moderate temperatures, striking landscapes, and some unpredictable weather, the Land of Endurance lived up to its billing with Lucy Charles-Barclay (GBR) taking the top spot for the first time as women’s world champion while Gustav Iden (NOR) defended his 2019 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship title, making it two-in-a-row.

Gustav Iden defends IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship title
Following his quick rise and stunning 2019 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship win as a seemingly unknown challenger, Norwegian professional Gustav Iden crossed today’s finish line with an unrivaled race that has cemented him as a force for others to catch. Coming out of the swim pack in 17th, Iden made up lost time by battling it back on the bike, passing fellow athletes early on. Even though heavy showers and hail poured down on athletes for a portion of the run, Iden remained undeterred and unstoppable, crossing the finish line in 3:37:13 at the 2021 Intermountain Healthcare IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship presented by Utah Sports Commission, nearly four minutes ahead of second place athlete Sam Long. The podium rounded out with an impressive performance by Daniel Baekkegard (DEN), who finished in 3:42:24.

Top five professional men’s results:

Lucy Charles-Barclay wins first IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship title
From the firing of the start cannon to the finish line tape, Lucy Charles-Barclay dominated the women’s professional field with prowess and a determination to win that wouldn’t be denied. Charles-Barclay put together a stellar race that was years in the making after one second-place IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship (2018) and three second-place IRONMAN World Championship (2017, 2018, 2019) finishes. Crossing the finish line on Main Street in 4:00:20, Charles-Barclay soaked in the roar of the crowd, leading to tears of joy as she embraced her husband, Reese, and realized her goal of an IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship title. South African Jeanni Metzler had an impressive day of her own, running her way into a second-place finish with a time of 4:08:39. Meanwhile, Taylor Knibb in only her second ever IRONMAN 70.3 finished the world championship in third just 11 seconds behind Metzler.

Top five professional women’s results:

More than 3,500 athletes checked-in to start the days race including the impressive professional field, tackling a 1.2-mile (1.9km) swim that took place in the Sand Hollow Reservoir in Hurricane, Utah followed by a challenging 56-mile (91.3km) bike course that led athletes through stunning desert landscapes with 3,442 feet (1,049 meters) of elevation gain and an unforgettable climb into Snow Canyon State Park and surrounding Washington County. The IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship event was capped off with the two-loop, 13.1-mile (21.2km) run course through Red Hills Parkway and saw athletes finish in historic downtown St. George. In order to qualify for the 2021 Intermountain Healthcare IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship, more than 50,000 age-group athletes competed to earn slots at over 45 IRONMAN 70.3 events held worldwide.

いよいよ前日となった。（現地は金曜日、時差は日本時間より15時間遅い）

そして、ついにトレックの新型トライアスロンバイクが確認された。ツールドフランスで使用されていた「TTバイク」とほぼ同様のシルエットとなっている。低いステム、ボリューミーなフロントフォーク、他社にも多い、バックフォーク形状。シャープなデザインは継続され、全体的にボリュームアップ。

トレックのモデルチェンジが遅れていた理由の一つに「快適性」があった。同社は「IsoSpeed」など初代Madoneが誕生した時からこだわっている重要なファクターだ。シートアングルの立っているトライアスロンバイクでの難しさがあったと思うが、シート周りの造りが TTとは異なっているので期待したい。ストレージ、フューエルは確認できない（BB上にはストレージが装着）。最終的にはトライアスロン仕様としての「追加」があるはずだ。今まで以上にSUB10選手から支持されるバイクになるのではないだろうか。

このNewトレックは、プロ選手#8 Ben Kanute（USA）のバイクだ。オールアメリカンに仕上げられたバイクは、ミドルに対応したセッティングとなっている。ホイールは、フロントにこの春リリースのアイオロス新型75mm、リアはディスクホイールで、KONAでは使用できないディスクがよりスピーディかつパワフルな走りを予感させる。Ben Kanuteはコリンズカップでは総合タイム4位で、WTCSでも活躍する選手。そんな選手にとってこのバイクは最強の相棒となることだろう。他にも#102Holly Lawrence（GBR）も使用していた。

やっとトライアスロンシーンでもお披露目となった新型Speedconcept。2月のKONAでも大きな話題となることは間違いない。

– Race week festivities for 2021 Intermountain Healthcare IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship presented by Utah Sports Commission continues with the IRONKIDS Fun Run and athlete bike check-in as race day looms just hours away

ST. GEORGE, Utah (September 17, 2021) – Race week for the 2021 Intermountain Healthcare IRONMAN^® 70.3^® World Championship presented by Utah Sports Commission continued today in St. George, Utah with the IRONKIDS Fun Run and athlete bike check-in. The Land of Endurance Daily Recap, which pays homage to this year’s IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship’s theme, concludes with a break down of the previous 24 hours as we head into race day.

IRONKIDS
In conjunction with the 2021 Intermountain Healthcare IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship presented by Utah Sports Commission, The IRONMAN Group celebrated the next generation of athletes during the IRONKIDS Fun Run event on Friday, Sept. 17, at Town Square Park. Children from ages 3 to 17-years-old participated in either a half-mile or a 1-mile run course. The event saw a total of 300 young participants. Kids were greeted at the finish line with medals to showcase their accomplishments. Children are the future of our sport and providing an opportunity to participate in an event that uses portions of the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship run course, including the same finish line arch that will be used for Saturday, allows for this generation of young athletes to “Rise To It” just like the adults racing.

Bike Check-in
Bike, helmet, and gear check-ins took place Friday at the Sand Hollow Reservoir transition area with the race day just hours away. Excitement filled the air as athletes began to rack their bikes and set up their race day needs at their designated racks. Participants exchange discussions of projected split times, tips for dealing with fatigue, and overall expectations for the race as they put the finishing touches on their preparation for Saturday morning’s race.
