Description
Come join us on April 5, 2024 for this year’s first TNO (Triathletes Night Out) at Basic City Beer Co. with local celebrity and international, multi ultra Ironman triathlete Will Turner as he talks about “Digging Deep, Pushing Limits & Defying Odds”
For those that don’t know, Will holds the record for completing 105 Ironman-distance races completed in 2 years starting at age 60!
Digging Deep, Pushing Limits & Defying Odds
Join us for a talk with “Iron Will” as he shares some highlights and lessons learned from his amazing journey. A local triathlete and endurance coach, Will Turner, started doing Sprint and Olympic-distance triathlons in 1994.
Since then, his triathlon exploits have been heralded by dozens of media outlets around the world including Men’s Health, Outside Magazine and Triathlete Magazine. In 2018 and 2019, he smashed the world record for most Ironman-distance triathlons completed in a two-year period. Last year, a documentary company followed his journey to complete a 914-mile ultra-triathlon (a 15.6-mile swim, a 728-mile bike and a 170.4-mile run) at elevation in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California.
Will's story starts with humble beginnings and ends with feats that most claimed were impossible. It's a story of grit. It's a story of resilience. And it's a story of heart.
We will be raffling 2 of Will’s beautiful, Limited Edition, coffee table books Journey To 100 which he will personally autograph. Thousands of absolutely stunning photos were taken during each of Will’s races by his partner Chris Destefano, photographer and Sherpa extraordinaire, and consolidated into an impressive book you’ll want to have!
This is a members 18+ only event. You’ll receive a beer ticket and we’ll have fresh pizza made on site for everyone to enjoy, but you must register to participate.
The talk will start promptly at 6:45 pm, so come early, grab a drink, socialize and get ready for an amazing presentation with Q&A afterwards!
We can’t wait to see you on April 5 at 6:00 pm and be ready to become inspired!
