St George start list: British & Irish Age-Group Men racing at IM WC

It’s not just the Pro athletes who have been waiting more than two-and-a-half years for an IRONMAN World Championship event. For many long distance amateur athletes, the World Champs in Kona is the dream.

Of course, with the delayed 2021 IRONMAN World Championship taking place in St George, Utah on Saturday (May 7), there’s no Ali’i Drive or Queen K this time around, but the topography of Snow Canyon and its surrounds is still impressive.

As we have done for many years now, here are the full listings of all of the UK and Ireland Age-Group MEN set to race in St George.

A few names to note

John Thelwell will be racing in the always strong M35-39 division. He has made great strides over the past couple of seasons in the colours of Tri Central UK, which has included a rapid 8:34:33 finish at IRONMAN Tallinn in 2020, and winning the AG race at IRONMAN UK in 2021.

Martin Gannon (M65-69) has plenty of World Championship experience – and podiums – to his name. He was fourth in Kona in 2018 and repeated that 12 months later. Having now moved up in category, can he do even better this time around?

Ireland’s Declan Doyle (M45-49) could well be one of the most experienced World Championship athletes on this list. He has been racing IRONMAN World Championship events for at least 15 years!

Best wishes for Saturday from the whole team at TRI247!
