Welcome to the 18th annual EnduraFit Ironman 70.3 EagleMan Triathlon, one of the most popular Ironman 70.3 triathlons in the country, showcasing superb logistics and the best volunteers around. Once again, this “staple” race is a qualifier for both the 2014 Ironman World Championship in Kona on October 11, 2104 (30 slots), and the 2014 Ironman Championship 70.3 in Mont-Tremblant, Québec, Canada on September 7, 2014 (40 slots).

This year’s race promises to be another great, world-class event, packed full of a stellar field of Pros from around the world and loads of excitement.
