General Information
Registration fees included or disclosed up front?: Not specified whether registration/convenience fees are added. Course Info: Held in and around beautiful Versluis Park in Plainfield Township, The Michigan Titanium is the first full Iron distance race in Michigan. We felt it was time to bring a USAT Sanctioned Full & Half Iron-Distance Triathlon to West Michigan. There are no other events of this caliber in this area. We feel this event will not only bring top athletes from across the country, it will also encourage a less experienced triathlete to participate in these next level events. The half iron is a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike course and 13.1 mile run course. The full iron is a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike course and a 26.2 mile run course. We also offer an half and full aqua bike option which is the swim/bike portion of each full race and we encourage relay team participation.

There are no other events of this caliber in the state. We feel this event will not only bring top athletes from across the country, it will also encourage a less experienced triathlete to participate in these next level
