The rescheduled 2021 Ironman World Championship that was scheduled to take place in Kailua-Kona in February 2022 will now take place in St. George Utah on May 7, 2022.

A statement from Ironman read:

“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.”

IRONMAN will host its World Championship in Hawai`i in October 2022. This two-day event will see professional women race on Thursday, October 6, 2022 and professional men race on Saturday, October 8, 2022, and age groupers distributed between the two days.  All affected athletes will be contacted directly via email with their options.
