Who’s racing at the IRONMAN World Championship on Saturday?

Having collated the equivalent information for the women (HERE), we now take a look at the 120+ UK and Ireland Age-Group MEN who will be racing at the IRONMAN World Championship on Saturday.

The amateur men’s field will be starting ** their race at 6:55 a.m. (local time) / 5:55 p.m. (UK time) on Saturday.

(** For 2019, the Age-Group waves starts have been changed from what was previously one mass start per gender).

A few names to look out for…

Pictured in the header image is Brian Fogarty (35-39), the overall winner at IRONMAN UK this year, who was also the fastest amateur at IRONMAN Lanzarote this year as well. A powerhouse on the bike, he’ll be looking to make significant moves on the field after getting the opening 2.4 mile swim out of the way, his weakest discipline.

Neil Eddy (30-34) set the second fastest GB Age-Group time ever in Kona last year, when finishing 8th in his category. Since then he’s won the ITU Long Distance Triathlon Championships (where he was fastest across all AG’s) and matched that at IRONMAN Vitoria-Gasteiz in Spain with a PB of 8:39:49. He’ll have sights on a top-5 finish in Hawaii and an Umeke award.

One man who has already made the stage at Sunday night’s awards is Martin Gannon (60-64). Martin took fourth last year to earn one of the coveted trophies, which go to the top-five finishers in each Age-Group.

Going one better than Martin with two ‘fruit bowls’ is Paul Lunn (45-49). Fifth in 2017 and third in 2018, this year Paul has the backing of the Specialized Zwift Academy Triathlon Team – will he be able to continue with his podium success in Hawaii and, perhaps, move up even further?

Back for a second attempt in Hawaii after a strong debut two years ago is Lewis Eccleston (25-29). Lewis took second place at IRONMAN Lanzarote this year – and recently won the Sundowner Middle Distance Triathlon – ahead of another Kona athlete, John Thelwell (30-34)

Making his Kona debut is John Borton (30-34), who we heard from earlier this year after his great run at the Boston Marathon. That proved to be great start to his triathlon season, as he went on to finish fourth in a rapid time of 8:46:41 at IRONMAN Copenhagen.
