Ford Ironman Wisconsin is one of 22 long-distance triathlon races held around the world and organized by the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) that qualify athletes for the Ford Ironman World Championship held every October in Kona, Hawaii.
Every race consists of a 2.4 miles (3.86 km) swim, a 112 miles (180.25 km) bike and a marathon (26 miles 385 yards, 42.195 km) run.

Ford Ironman Wisconsin takes place in a sports-crazy town that is known as one of the best spots to bike in the United States, along with being the site of the University of Wisconsin, America's premier "party college." Those two attributes have a bit to do with why this race is so popular and so successful, but there is a lot more to the magic that makes this such a hugely successful event.
