We’re just a little under a month away from the IRONMAN 70.3 Ohio race, in it’s third year in Sandusky. Joining Jill and Dayton on this episode are Ben Simon, Shores & Islands Ohio Director of Marketing and Sales and IRONMAN-athlete-in-training. Ben tells us about the “Shores & Islands Idols” relay team which he is anchoring with his swim and a little about his training regimen. Next, we talk with IRONMAN 70.3 Ohio race director Casey Gilvin and he educates us about the difference between the 70.3 race and a full IRONMAN and what competitive opportunities are available for race participants. With over 1,500 athletes expected for the Sunday, July 21, 2024 race, Casey tells us why Sandusky has been an ideal location for this race series and why they have signed on to return for future races. We learn what the race course entails and what opportunities are available for spectators, support teams, and volunteers. Race fans can enjoy the IRONMAN Village located at downtown Sandusky’s Jackson Street Pier, where they can shop with vendors, enjoy food trucks, and cheer on the athletes at various stages of the race. With a ferry jump starting queue and a finish line in the heart of downtown, this is one Shores & Islands Ohio event not-to-be-missed! Find out more at Ironman.com/im703-ohio.
