Ironman Revisited - postponed to 2007
2007 Ironman Revisited
Sunday, August 12, 2007
Registration
OPENS - January 1, 2007.
How it Began...
It started with a question – who was the fittest of them all?
The one who swam the 2.4 mile Waikiki Rough Water Swim?
The one who did the 112 Around Oahu Bike ride?
Or the one who did the 26.2-mile Honolulu Marathon?
It was Commander John Collins who said, “Swim 2.4, ride 112 and run 26.2, and brag for the rest of your life”
And so it was… In February, 1978 15 athletes stood on the sandy beaches of Waikiki and started what would become the most coveted, the most grueling, the most rewarding of all sporting events - the Hawaii Ironman.
Ironman Revisited replicates the original Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon held on Oahu in 1978. It’s just you, your support crew and time well spent with friends. This time it’s not a race – it’s a journey. Retrace those original steps and revisit the roots of how this whole thing got started, and give back at the same time. The funds you raise will help make dreams come true for challenged athletes around the world.
Entry Requirements
Ironman Revisited is not an “official” race. You can compete as fast as you are able, but you will have to obey the “rules of the road”, especially during the cycling portion of the event. You are required to have a support crew to assist you during the triathlon and communicate back to the event headquarters. The start and finish will be at San Souci Beach Park.
The Course
Retraces the original 1978 Hawaii Ironman triathlon:
- The swim is the Waikiki Rough water Swim. It is 2.4 miles in the open ocean.

Event Benefits

- A goodie bag that includes a finisher’s shirt, a CAF singlet, CAF running shorts, nutrition, and more.
