In 1978, 15 men participated in the very first IRONMAN triathlon on the bustling
streets of Honolulu, Hawaii. IRONMAN consists of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112-mile bike
and a 26.2-mile run, in succession. This event serves as one of the many qualifying
events across the globe for the IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona,
Hawaii every October.
The Continental United States’ oldest full-distance event, the IRONMAN Vineman
triathlon has been a California classic for decades. In 1990 the Vineman was designed to be “the people’s full-distance event” with an emphasis on making the
average athlete’s experience of completing the classic distance the most enjoyable
and personalized as possible. While the sport of triathlon has changed drastically
over the past decade and a half, the soul of the Vineman remains the same.
The Vineman course is a tour of Sonoma County vineyards and wineries, which
passes through five distinct regions. The swim takes place at Johnson’s Beach in the
Russian River, one of the most rustic swim venues you’ll see in the sport. The bike
course is a mix of terrain, and travels through the Russian River, Dry Creek, Alexander
Valley, and Chalk Hill grape growing regions. The two loop, out-and-back, run course
takes the athletes from the finish area through scenic country roads of Sonoma
County.
