No, we aren't about that kind of Monday energy either.

ISHIGAKI TRIATHLON: Opening Soon
Registration (first come, first served) opens Tuesday, November 15 at 1200. Last year, it sold out very quickly - as in about 24 hours. It's worth noting that the COVID-19 situation was significantly different back in late 2021. In recent years prior to the pandemic, registration typically stayed open for several days, if not weeks. Considering "races are back", Ishigaki seems unlikely to be an instant sell-out. Still, if you're interested, it'd be wise to register early.

The organizers of the Miyajima International Power Triathlon Championship Through the Hatsukaichi are calling it a day. Otherwise known as the Miyajima Triathlon and referred to as the "Woodman", the race is quite possibly one of the most unique bucket-list races in Japan. Since 2007, Woodman has had 13 renditions, but the curtains will close for good following the 2023 edition on June 18.
