Top Canadian athlete brings personal reason to Ironman 70.3 Victoria

Stephanie Fauquier will be swimming, cycling and running to assist Alzheimer\u0027s research.

“I am bringing two things together and using my love of sports to celebrate my mother,” said Fauquier.

That certainly evokes the spirit of Terry Fox and several other Canadians who have since made cross-country treks of various sorts for a variety of causes and issues. The Ironman Victoria 70.3 is among two of the Half-Iron distances Fauquier will contest in her 10 races across 10 provinces this summer. The Victoria event is operated by the iconic Ironman brand. The corporation is based in Florida, so all Ironman races are calculated in imperial distances. The 70.3 designation, formerly known as Half-Iron, includes a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bicycle race and 13.1-mile run totalling 70.3 miles.
