On an October night in 1979, a Navy man named John Collins rode his Triumph motorcycle over to the offices of a Honolulu health club. He brought nothing but a box of paperwork. Inside that box was what now might be considered a billion-dollar idea.
The #Ironman triathlon likes to tell the story of its humble origins, twisting mythology into marketing. But it usually leaves out the most intriguing part — about that box that changed hands in the night, and about the people who are still angry about it, nearly 4 decades later. No one is bothered more than John Dunbar, the runner-up in the first 2 races. Dunbar believes Ironman belongs to him and 14 others who competed in the first race, including Collins.
Instead, @ironmantri is now owned by a Chinese conglomerate called Dalian Wanda Group, which paid $650 million for it in 2015. Ironman puts on more than 260 races in 44 countries, with 680,000 annual participants.
Our reporter @johnbranchnyt uncovered the colorful origin story of the Ironman #triathlon. Visit the link in our profile to read the full story. @michelle.mishina photographed Dunbar as he biked along the road to the summit of #Haleakala in December.
