Independent Iron Distance Races

I'm not sure if this is a "complete" list, but it is a good place to start.

Both of the web sites mentioned above are great recources.  My only comment is to speak praise for the indie ironman that I did, called the Redman in Oklahoma City.  Do enough searching and you'll find a lot of praise for this event. 

Good luck!

Grand Columbian, in Washington State was an awesome race. I believe this year is the last year for the Full Iron Distance, though. I did the half last year and dumpster did the full. Really nice location and a good feeling of community.

I've heard good things about Great Illini in Mattoon... (IL)

This tri guy in Canada runs this site and has this independent listings:

x 10!

anyone know how soon Redman fills up??  is it like the series races from a few days to weeks or we talking months??

thx

Bummer on the Full, I heard it was a really supportive venue and a great race, was one I wanted to get out to do sometime.

Most likely won't, I think again this year you could sign up right til the end on Sept. 1

x2. 

Even though it doesn't fill up fast, I would still make the decision by Sept. 1st.  I think there's a price increase somewhere in there.  Would have to check the web site on this.
