WTC announces Ironman Championship Race Calendar

Kona, The Best Of.What to do, and When to do it

The EagleMan Triathlon had its roots as The Oxford Triathlon in 1980 under the stewardship of Oxford, Maryland native Fletcher Hanks. Hanks was a true triathlon pioneer and was one of the first triathlon race directors to offer prize money. In 1990, he moved the race to nearby Cambridge across the Choptank River into Dorchester County and renamed it " The Endurance". After Fletcher suddenly retired in 1992, we stepped in to continue the tradition of this venerable race , with the hope of one day returning it to the list of Ironman Qualifiers. The event was renamed in honor of the majestic bald eagle, the symbol of freedom and opportunity and an inhabitant of Dorchester County and the vast Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, thru which much of the bike course goes. This event is as mentally and physically demanding as any Ironman 70.3 race. The water conditions can be very choppy and and rough and the bike and run courses, while flat, can and often do get very windy and hot. There is little shade to be found. The shear challenge of these conditions cannot be underestimated. This race will select only the mentally and physically toughest to travel the "Road to Kona". BE READY TO SOAR!

The Blackwater EagleMan Triathlon remembered 2001 EagleMan Triathlete Sgt Pat Tillman at the 2004 event. It is most fitting that Sgt Tillman, like many other American service men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice, did so in the Honor and Defense of their country. Its symbol of Freedom is the majestic Bald Eagle who we Honor at our Triathlon.
