Athletes have now completed preliminary events all over the world to qualify for their shot at being crowned the IRONMAN world champion! The World’s toughest endurance athletes gather in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, to compete in the IRONMAN World Championships.
Beginning in 1978, the IRONMAN World Championships occurs annually in Hawaii. The original course combined three athletic events already featured on the Hawaiian island: the 2.4-mile Roughwater Swim, the 115-mile Around-Oahu Bike Race and the 26.2-mile Honolulu Marathon. The bike portion has since shortened to 112 miles — resulting in the 140.6-grueling miles these world-class athletes experience now. In 1980, they moved the race from Oahu to the barren lava lands of Kona on the Big Island creating a hot, hard and challenging event.
