  •  7th year in Daytona

Over 3,000 athletes of all ages from 4 to 81 competed in events ranging from the triathlon, Duathlon and Aqua bike.

One of those athletes competing is Chris Nikic, who ran in all six marathon majors and is the first person with down syndrome to finish an Iron man. 

He says his reward is whatever he wants to eat after his Jingle Jog 5K and the middle-distance triathlon races tomorrow.

"Chipotle, Waffle House and sushi," Nikic explains.

When asked how is he's going to eat at all three, Nikic responded simple with, "I know."

CLASH Endurance CEO Bill Christy was passing out medals at the finish line Saturday morning, he says what inspires him the most is the first time participants.

"You see a lot of the same faces at the races and they’re here for one reason and one reason only because they’re here to support each other and people new to the sport,” said Christy. 

Some of these athletes will qualify for the 2025 Long Course World Championships.
