Held on May 13, 2006, the 2006 St. George Triathlon hosted over 1,000 triathletes from throughout the United States. The race started on a cool spring morning that quickly heated up. Temperatures soared into the upper 90’s as athletes began the difficult run course.

Male overall winners, Dave Ference of the Olympic event and B.J. Christenson of the sprint, won their respective titles very convincingly. Ference beat his closest competitor, Heath Thurston, by nearly two minutes. Christensen distanced himself from his sprint distance runner-up, Guy Perry, by three and a half minutes.

The women’s races were much closer then the men’s. Sarah Jarvis nipped out Debbie Perry in the Olympic event by 21 seconds. Alli Gardner won the women’s sprint event, holding off Nicole Newton by 33 seconds.

The event, now in its sixth year proved to be a huge success.
