Cambridge, Maryland
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.
CTA supports the work of The Pat Tillman Foundation. See how
