“We are thrilled to continue evolving our partnership with the IRONMAN Series, particularly in the Lake Placid region which holds a special place in my heart,” said Bill Shufelt, Founder and CEO of Athletic Brewing. “I’ve handed out thousands of Athletic brews at this competition and have cheered for a number of friends and colleagues who have participated over the years. This heritage race offers an opportunity for Athletic Brewing to support all athletes in their quest to live without compromise, and it is an honor to serve as the title partner at such a tremendous event.”

Drawing triathletes from around the world, the IRONMAN Lake Placid event has become an iconic race that allows participants to test themselves on a legendary course. Racing in Lake Placid, New York is an opportunity to enjoy fresh, mountain air, and majestic views. Nature is never far from downtown. For everyone from families to couples and adventurers to those looking to relax, there are opportunities to spend time outside. Head out for a quiet hike, explore miles of mountain bike trails, or go for a paddle on one of the endless mountain lakes. Fuel up for any adventure at locally loved and locally owned restaurants and shops.

Details related to the 2023 course are still being finalized but the swim will take place in beautiful Mirror Lake, which serves as one of the best IRONMAN swim courses in the world. Once out of the water, athletes will transition over to the 112-mile bike portion. The iconic two-loop bike course will traverse through the surrounding hills of the Adirondacks. Athletes will be challenged with the 11-mile climb up the “notch” from Wilmington back to the transition area at Northwood School. Runners will take on a two-loop course that travels through the city center. The run begins in Lake Placid, which played host to the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic games, providing athletes with spectacular views of the famed Olympic ski jumps before heading down scenic River Road and ending on Main Street for the unforgettable finish line. The 2023 Athletic Brewing IRONMAN Lake Placid, part of the VinFast IRONMAN North America Series offers qualifying slots to 2023 VinFast IRONMAN World Championship taking place in Kailua-Kona Hawai`i.
