Iron Month Challenge 2024
Welcome to the Iron Month Challenge! For the month of February, RecWell is offering the opportunity for individuals to work towards completing a full Iron Man race. Any distances swam, ran, or biked from February 1 – February 29 will be totaled and tracked towards the Iron Man race distances.
Try your hand at completing a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run/walk. There will be a tiered structure for distances, where you can receive prizes for completing a sprint triathlon, Olympic triathlon, and half Iron Man. Any individuals completing a full Iron Man will receive a prize, as well as entered into a raffle for an exclusive Apple Watch!
