The women’s race features the two winners in defending champion, Danielle Lewis and 2019 winner, Paula Findlay.

The Canadian produced a career-best (ahead of Sanders) when winning the high-profile IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside, and was also seventh at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship this year. Other top contenders include Eric Lagerstrom (USA), who was second in 2019, Trevor Foley (fifth last year, recent winner in Waco) and perhaps a real contender for top spot in Jackson Laundry. Long is also looking for some late season redemption after a frustrating race at IRONMAN Arizona. The race should provide another opportunity for a middle distance showdown with Sam Long, which typically leads to some exciting finishes, as we saw in St George last year and the Collins Cup in August, pictured above. He’s clearly still a far better athlete than those results suggest, reflected by his fifth position in the current PTO rankings. The new Dad – congrats to you, Erin and young Levi – is back at an event he knows well, his first race outing after disappointing races in Dallas (24th) and Kona (34th). This is the fourth edition of the event – and Lionel Sanders has won the previous three.
