For over a decade the picturesque ski resort in the Quebec has hosted an Ironman triathlon like no other. Renowned as one of the world’s “best” long-distance races, Ironman Mont-Tremblant helped the region become a summer training haven.

Earlier this month it was announced that this would be the final Ironman Mont-Tremblant event. The popular Ironman 70.3 Mont-Tremblant event will remain a fixture on the calendar, though, which means triathletes can still look forward to racing at the spectacular venue.

Triathlon Magazine Canada editor Kevin Mackinnon was on hand for the final race, and captured these photos from the last hour of racing:

With the Ironman race starting at 6 AM, athletes had until 11:30 PM to make it to the finish line in the village.
You … are … an … Ironman!
And so are you!
