Life Time Tri events attracted more than 28,000 athletes in 2014 uniting professional, amateur and new triathletes from around the world. Elite and professional triathletes competed in International distance races featuring a 1.5-kilometer swim, 40-kilometer bike, and 10-kilometer run racing for America’s largest pro cash purse. Select events also host Sprint or Super Sprint distances for age group and beginner triathletes in addition to kid’s triathlon events in select markets.

Earlier this month, Life Time and IRONMAN announced a planned collaboration to promote the growth of triathlon and to welcome new athletes into the sport through education and premier events. As an “Official Sponsor of the IRONMAN® and IRONMAN 70.3® U.S. Series,” Life Time’s 13 Sprint and International distance triathlons will be contributors to the IRONMAN Age Group Ranking and IRONMAN All World Athlete^TM programs.
