The Chicago-based CHICAGO IRON, aka “IronMonster” community is part of an official USA TRIATHLON (USAT) and IRONMAN TRI CLUB under 4 STAR ENDURANCE. Started back in 2009 by Coach Chris Navin (now a 22+ time Ironman and 150+ time triathlon finisher) between a group of diverse triathletes who were training at multiple facilities including Vision Quest, TriMonster, and Fitness Formula Clubs – what united us was the idea of tackling “scary” challenges by making them fun adventures. #DoEpicSh*t and #MakeNoSmall Plans
Uniting as one team along with additional athletes from other Chicago-area tri clubs including CHICAGO TRI CLUB (CTC), BFF BIKES, and TEAM TO END AIDS (T2) charity team, the IRONMONSTER community grew to became one of the largest and most successful IRONMAN TRI CLUB programs, winning the TRI CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS at IRONMAN WISCONSIN and IRONMAN 70.3 STEELHEAD!
