The Hawaii Ironman Triathlon is the oldest, longest and most prestigious thriathlon in the world. It has its origin in 1978 when John Collins, a competitor of a Hawaii running race proposed combining three existing races together in order to know who is more fit (swimmers, runners or other athletes). These three competitions were the Waikiki Roughwater Swim (2.4 miles), the Around-Oahu Bike Race (112 miles) and the Honolulu Marathon (26.2 miles) and should be completed in succession. The winner will be called the Ironman. The first editions were at Waikiki, but from 1981 on the site changed to Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaii, the Saturday closest to the full moon in October. To get there, one must have finished in the top 10 the year before, or have qualified at a different race during the year. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 edition was cancelled, and the 2021 edition was actually held in May 2022 in St. George, Utah. Starting in 2023, Hawaii Ironman will share the World Championship race with Nice Ironman in France. Up until at least 2026, Nice will host the men's world championships in odd years, and Hawaii in even years.
