Ironman Triathlon Challenges are renowned endurance races that consist of a 3.8 km swim, 180 km cycling, and a 42.2 km run, all completed continuously within a certain cut-off time. Originating in 1978, the Ironman Triathlon tests athletes’ physical and mental fortitude as they push their limits to complete this gruelling race. The Ironman Copenhagen will be Dato Sri Dr. Vincent Tiew’s attempt to complete his ninth Ironman and achieved within 21 months from his first Ironman. Notably, the cut-off time for Ironman Copenhagen is 15 hours and 45 minutes, shorter than the usual 17-hour cut-off time. Mr. Teh Kuok Yuen will be striving to achieve his personal best timing in this race, with his current best timing at remarkable 9 hours and 28 minutes.
