Is 2019 the year you will complete the Ironman distance? Spend the month of January completing the 140.6 swim bike run distance with fellow athletes in the Ironkiwi Resolution Challenge. Here's how it works: you have the whole month to complete the distances and you don't have to do them all at once. A great way to start the new year!

Come join the IRONKIWI Challenge presented by PRS Triathlon Club to support the Jared Bynum Scholarship Foundation supporting Jacksonville students.

WHERE: EVERYWHERE. You can LITERALLY be anywhere and do the IRONKIWI Challenge!

EXCERISE MODES: Training for the IRONKIWI Challenge can occur outdoors or in any fitness facilities to which you have access. Specific exercise modes for each leg can include but are not limited to:
Swim: You may use an indoor pool or accessible lake/pond/ocean. Any stroke can be used to complete the required distance (e.g. crawl stroke, breast stroke, back stroke, or even doggy paddling). 
Bike: You may ride outdoors or use an indoor stationary bike. 
Run/Walk: You can walk, jog, or run using tracks, treadmills, roads, etc.

WHY: 
• To promote a healthy, doable challenge for endurance athletes everywhere! Some people are unable to afford or just don't want to complete a full Iron distance race in one day, so the IRONKIWI Challenge was created to give people a whole month to do a 140.6 distance event.
• Raise funds and awareness for the Jared Bynum Scholarship Foundation. This scholarship fund was established to help students who complete the mentoring program at Julia Landon College Preparatory and Leadership School, go on to finish high school in four years and are accepted to college. It will help them go to college and achieve their dreams. This scholarship focuses on those students who have overcome early childhood challenges and continued on through high school and to college.
