The very best will embark on a 140.6-mile journey that presents the ultimate test of body, mind and spirit. Through decades of stellar athlete performances, inspirational participants and emotional memories, the IRONMAN World Championship has etched a reputation as the pinnacle of the triathlon landscape and an iconic global sporting event.

The legendary course that takes athletes through the barren lava fields that the Island of Hawai`i provides the setting for the ultimate test of strength, grit and heart while calling upon athletes to find the spirit of aloha within themselves.

In the midst of our lives, find the light within and the magic that makes our souls soar. Treasure the spirit of aloha within yourself and others as you choose hope, have faith and never quit believing, “Anything is Possible!”

IRONMAN will have a dedicated day of racing for the women’s field on Thursday and the men’s field on Saturday, allowing for full focus and coverage on each race and its competitors as well as the Island of Hawai`i like never before.
