April 25, 2008 -- You know you have a successful event when the participant list is 105 pages long. Such is the case for race director Philip LaHaye and the world-renowned St. Anthony’s Triathlon. Started in 1984, St. Anthony’s was a race that was destined for big things from the start. The inaugural event attracted over 600 participants, which constituted a lion’s share of USAT’s total membership at the time. As the sport has continued to boom for the past two-and-a-half decades, St. Anthony’s has steamrolled right along with it, becoming one of a handful of events to boast 4,000 participants.

While the sheer magnitude of 4,000 athletes competing simultaneously makes St. Anthony’s legendary, the world-class elite field that shows up each year always makes for an exciting event. This year is no exception when it comes the pro start list, which pits Ironman champions against Gold Medal hopefuls, in what is sure to be a tight race for both the men and women.

Kona Endurance, makers of a wide range of sports supplements, has set up a “Fantasy Triathlon” game, which allows you to win free product by picking the winners at St. Anthony’s. To play, click HERE
