organization

A triathlon competition has been held here every June since 1980. The races were organized until 1992 by Fletcher Hanks - the son of the comic artist Fletcher Hanks .
The Oxford Triathlon was held here from 1980 . The US American Russ Jones , winner of the first edition in 1981, is still successful today as an age group athlete.

In 1990 the competition was renamed The Endurance . There was no race in 1996. From 2006 onwards, the organizer Columbia Triathlon Association paid license fees to the WTC in order to use its Ironman 70.3 trademark in the event name. In 2014, WTC , which was then part of the private equity company Providence Equity Partners and, since 2015, the Chinese Wanda Group , announced the purchase of the event, since then the organization has been carried out by the WTC.

In 2009 more than 1700 athletes competed here. The last competition here in Cambridge took place on June 14, 2019.
