What is the Isoman ....All Things Being Equal!
Do Something Different in 2015...Do Something Amazing!
We Joined the event that everyone is talking about , we
wanted to be there at the beginning.
Most triathlon events are biased mainly towards the
cycling and to a slightly lesser extent towards the running. Iron distance pros
for example will spend only 10% of the total time swimming, 54% of the time
cycling and 36% of the time running.

in Redditch,Worcestershire

The aim of Isoman is to address this imbalance
and create a triathlon for which all disciplines demand an equal level of excellence.
