Thanks for a Great Peasantman 2026!
First Knight Racing was proud to host the USA Triathlon Ultra Distance National Championships at Peasantman for the second straight year! We'd like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s event - from the towns and villages to the volunteers and the athletes themselves. We dodged some wind and weather later in the day before it cleared again, and several course records fell. The highlight of the day was Zack Benedict of Tucson, AZ winning the Men's Steel Distance National Championship - breaking the course record by five minutes.
