The Mercuryman Triathlon is the only half iron distance triathlon in the Cayman Islands. Mercuryman is the brain child of three dedicated triathletes who have a combined 18 years of triathlon racing experience between them at all distances from sprint distance to full iron distance. 

As experienced triathletes, we know what is important to athletes competing in a half iron distance race. Our goal is to hold a fun, personalized and most of all safe race for our competitors, all in a fantastic setting. As the Mercuryman triathlon has a field limit of 200 athletes, you will be more than just a race number. 

The Cayman Islands boasts a small but friendly triathlon community and we would like to invite you to experience our hospitality on January 20, 2013. Please see the official website www.mercurymantri.com for further details.

The event organizers came up with the idea to create and host the event as it will enable triathletes in the Cayman Islands to participate in a half iron distance triathlon event without flying off island as well as enable overseas triathletes to compete in a picturesque tropical island setting.

The event will consist of the standard half iron distances which are as follows:

* Swim 1.2 miles

* Bike 56 miles

* Run 13.1 miles

 The race on the 20th of January 2013 will be open to individuals and teams. An Aquabike event will also be held which will consist of a 1.2 mile swim followed by a 56 mile bike ride.
