The third edition of the Ironman is coming up for Syracuse, with eight weeks to prepare for the challenge.

Ken Hammond is the Race Director, and says it is a 1.2 mile swim at Jamesville Reservoir, followed by a 56 mile bike ride and a 13.1 mile run. 

Hammond says they're working on making the post-finish event more of a family affair, for racers  and their supporters.

He says someone already in good shape could be ready to compete in 8 weeks, and for those who just want to watch but still be a part of it, there are lots of volunteering and involvement opportunities.
