IRONMAN St. George World Championship Hurricane, UT   May 7, 2022

Per race website: The IRONMAN World Championship schedule has been changed as follows:
– 2021 IRONMAN World Championship, St. George, Utah, USA, May 7, 2022
– 2022 IRONMAN World Championship, Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i, USA, Oct 6 & 8, 2022

As the impact of COVID-19 persists on the Island of Hawai`i, resources remain stretched, and we lack confidence that the Big Island will be ready for us by early next year. As a result, our gracious hosts in St. George, Utah, have risen to the occasion to hold the 2021 edition. The Land of Endurance will mix the striking and austere landscapes of the desert to create a one-of-a-kind World Championship experience.
