After many years of competing in Ironman it was time for us fellow veteran triathletes to begin the search for alternative events of similar distance.

As we searched the globe for our next adventure our list of alternatives began to grow.

So we decided to publish our findings and K226 was born.

It became clear that the events we were finding were very much like the races we remember from the dawn of triathlon. The races are easy to enter as they would rarely fill to capacity and an added bonus is that they are on average well below half the cost of what we have been accustomed to paying.

Upon arriving at the events you will also find that they are not overrun by elite athletes determined to do "whatever" it takes to beat their fellow competitors to the finish line. Be assured however, K226 races are competitive and friendly at the same time.
All the events listed on our K226 web page are individual races linked by one common goal, 226 kilometers in total.

This is derived from a 3.8km swim, 180km ride and a run of 42.2km.
We hope you enjoy this site and have fun at the K226 events herein.
See you at the races.
