WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF THE KONA FIVE?

1. To give athletes (with the dream of completing the Kona Ironman) not only the opportunity to complete the Kona Ironman World Championship Course one time... but five times in five days!

2. To give athletes the opportunity of a lifetime to push & test their physical & mental limits against the toughest ultra-triathlon in Kona, Hawaii... and to be one of only a handful of elite athletes to have completed it.

3. To give athletes the opportunity to see the beauty of Kona, Hawaii (volcanoes, lava fields, beaches, sunrises, sunsets, stars, and moon)... all from a unique and unforgettable perspective.

4. To develop a spirit of comradery and mutual support among all the athletes... with the goal to see how many athletes we can get to the finish... NOT who finishes first.

5. To build life-long friendships with some amazing athletes and super kind & positive people.
