PEASANTMAN - AUGUST 17, 2025

Hosting the 2025 USA Triathlon Ultra Distance National Championships!

First Knight Racing would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s Peasantman event - from the towns and villages to the volunteers, and of course the athletes themselves. We battled some choppy waters and strange weather, but a few course records did fall - in the Women's Full Steel Aquabike, the Men's Sprint, and the Men's Intermediate Duathlon.

First Knight Racing was proud that Peasantman hosted the 2025 USA Triathlon National Championship for the Ultra Distances (Full Steel Distance Triathlon, Full Steel Distance Aquabike, Full Steel Distance Duathlon). This resulted in a slightly larger field for the longer races. Below is a brief on our National Champions. For full race results, click the button below.
