We are hours away from the first full distance Ironman World Championship to take place outside of Hawaii, and it promises to be quite a race. Almost 3,000 athletes will take on the challenging course that features more climbing than has ever been seen at the worlds before, along with an incredibly diverse field that sees, among other things, two Ironman World Championship rookies from Norway arrive in Utah as the prohibitive race favourites. (Kristian Blummenfelt and Gustav Iden are pictured above.)

The women’s race in St. George promises to one of the most exciting seen at a world championship, with a number of women expected to contend for the title. (Click on the link below for more details on some of the top women’s contenders.)
