    Our deepest condolences to the Hoyt family.
    The triathlon community has lost a legend. Team Hoyt was an inspiration to many.

    IRONMAN World Championship
    In 1988, IRONMAN and its community were introduced to the trailblazing father-son team of Dick and Rick Hoyt at the IRONMAN World Championship. While they didn’t finish that first year further history would be made the very next year. Using an inflatable boat attached to a bungee pulled by Dick, a bike with a seat on the handlebars for Rick, and a custom-made jogger for Rick to sit in, the pair etched Team Hoyt into the history books finishing the 140.6-mile IRONMAN triathlon in 14:26:04, changing the face of sporting events and redefining what is possible.

    In the decades to follow, the love of a father and son was on display as the Hall of Fame Duo of Team Hoyt continued their feats through determination and the desire to change the world. Through their participation in multiple IRONMAN events, numerous other running and triathlon competitions, and a willingness to share their story through the IRONMAN World Championship documentary on NBC, more Special Teams are engaged and celebrated in sporting events around the world than ever before.

    While our hearts are broken for this loss, his accomplishments alongside Rick are ones that will remain at the core of IRONMAN. We share our deepest sympathies with the Hoyt family, their friends, and all others who are impacted by this great loss.

    We will miss you, Dick.     ... See MoreSee Less
