The Oregon Sports Authority and Central Oregon Visitors Association will be submitting the bid to bring the Ironman Triathlon to Central Oregon.
The bid is due at the end of January 2012. Our chances for a successful bid will be significantly enhanced if we can demonstrate strong interest and support. Please sign our petition to document your enthusiasm & support to bring a full Ironman to Central Oregon beginning in the fall of 2013.
Background & Impact
One of the most recognized endurance events in the world, the Ironman consists of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run. Ironman's qualifying series includes 28 events throughout the world, leading up to the Ironman World Championship held every October in Kona, Hawaii. An Ironman event could bring more than 10,000 people to Oregon over a period of several days, generating significant tourism impact for our state.
Please sign this petition today and pass it on!

The emails to the sports boards are going out daily even if the inbox remains empty. It feels like shouting into a void at times but I remind myself that showing up is the only way this happens.

YES! im tired of traveling to cali for these races. bring it home!!!!
Finally some recognition for our area. Oregon has the best training grounds anyway.
Bend is the perfect spot for this. The terrain would be brutal but amazing. Bring it here!!
hope this works out. central oregon needs more big events like this.
Training in the high desert is no joke but it would make for an epic race course.
