Sloths are mysterious creatures who are notoriously slow. By the same token that these tree-dwelling mammals take a little bit longer to get to their destination, The Slothathon is a slower paced version of a traditional Ironman Triathlon. The Ironman Triathlon consists of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bicycle ride and a marathon run of 26.2 miles, where only the elite of the elite finish with in the time frame of 17 hours. Tremonton Recreation brings you the Lazyman Slothathon. Where instead of the 17 hour time limit to complete the Ironman, we are giving you a whole month to complete those same distances. Believe me, there is nothing lazy about it.
The purpose of this event is to help people of all skill levels develop a healthy active lifestyle in a fun, customizable, personal, and entertaining way. From the couch potato who wants to not break into a sweat when they have to reach for the remote, to the avid exerciser who is building up and training for a true triathlon, the goal of this event is to get you moving, and, most of all, to have fun doing it!
