Community Partnership

Major Taylor & The IRONMAN Foundation

A multi-year partnership that brought Major Taylor cyclists to the triathlon world — and ignited a new competitive fire within our community.

IRONMAN Foundation

The IRONMAN Foundation partnered with Major Taylor cycling clubs across the country to help support their half-marathon initiative — bringing more people of color to the sport of triathlon. The Foundation asked MTICA to provide three cyclists for several Half IRONMAN events across multiple years.

What made this partnership truly special: Major Taylor cyclists didn't just ride — they competed as swimmers or runners too, depending on the event. It was a landmark partnership that lit the competitive triathlon flame within our community.

This Is How It Began

During our participation, Major Taylor cyclists competed across multiple IRONMAN and Rock 'n' Roll events — some as swimmers or runners, others as cyclists — marking a historic first for our community in multisport competition. Our clubs brought energy, diversity, and excellence to every starting line.

2023 · Half IRONMAN
Benton Harbor, Michigan

Set on the shores of Lake Michigan, IRONMAN 70.3 Steelhead sends athletes through an open-water swim, a bike through Michigan's fruit country, and a run along the St. Joseph River — Major Taylor cyclists brought community and energy to every mile of this course.

2023 · Half IRONMAN
Chattanooga, Tennessee

The IRONMAN 70.3 Chattanooga course winds through Tennessee's scenic river valley — a downstream swim in the Tennessee River, rolling hills through the countryside, and a run through the heart of downtown Chattanooga. Major Taylor cyclists represented our community on one of the sport's most beloved courses.

Half IRONMAN
Augusta, Georgia

IRONMAN 70.3 Augusta is one of the fastest yet most demanding courses in the country — a downstream swim in the Savannah River, a rolling bike through the Georgia heat, and a flat but punishing run through downtown Augusta. Major Taylor cyclists took on every mile of it and crossed that finish line with pride, proving our community belongs on every course in the sport.

Half IRONMAN
Oceanside, California

IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside is one of the toughest courses on the circuit — an ocean swim off Camp Pendleton, a relentless climb through the hills of North County San Diego, and a run along the Oceanside Harbor waterfront with the Pacific at your back. Major Taylor cyclists tackled every discipline and showed up strong from the starting gun to the finish line.
