Ironhawk Juniors Program

Ironhawk Juniors Program

Originating in 2018, Ironhawk Juniors Triathlon Club (“IHJ”) IHJ is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that was formed from a belief that participation in sports and physical activity can be a great enhancer of an individual’s life. The Ironhawk Endurance Outreach Committee first met in January 2018 and developed a strategy that served the vision of getting people moving, serving those who want to get fit, and inspiring those who need uplifting. The goal was to give back to the community by coaching and mentoring those who may not have the means to participate in multi-sport activities or who could only imagine doing a triathlon. IHJ strives to be an ethnically, economically, socially, and physically diverse youth organization. Read more about the program on our Program page.
