ICEMAN ATHLETE GUIDE

Game on!!! All permits are in place for The Iceman Triathlon and, pending any changes to Arizona’s executive orders, we will be racing February 27.

Welcome to the Second Iceman Triathlon and XTERRA Iceman!! Iceman truly has a little something for everyone with triathlon, aquabike and duathlon options. Yes, it’s going to be a little chilly on race day, but we have you covered with your Iceman beanie.

What does it all mean?? Iceman will have both a traditional road triathlon and an XTERRA off road triathlon.

We are hopeful to bring this event to Arizona. However, we are prepared for yet another event cancellation due to the ever-evolving COVID situation. We will offer entry-fee refunds (does not include Active processing fees) if the event is cancelled. Please note, in an effort to reduce face to face contact and limit the number of volunteers present that there will be no finisher medals or awards for Iceman 2021.
