Katherine Calder-Becker

In 2003, my husband and I discovered the sport of triathlon, which sparked our passion for endurance racing and set us on a path of world-wide race adventures!

We both raced in our first Ironman in 2006, and since then we have both competed in 18 Ironman events, including the prestigious Ironman World Championships in Kailua-Kona Hawaii. We have also raced in several of the World Major Marathons, and have completed two successful R3 double crossings of the Grand Canyon. In 2011, we progressed to ultra-distance racing and took on the Ultraman event – a 3-day individual triathlon, consisting of a 10K swim, 420K bike and 84.4K run. After 5 successful Ultraman Races, we were named World Record Title Holders by the Guinness World Book of Records for the « Most Ultraman triathlons finished by a married couple ».

I truly love the experience and adventure each race brings and feel such a wonderful sense of accomplishment when I push my boundaries and turn my fear into courage. Through my training and race adventures I hope to inspire others to embrace a lifestyle of fun and fitness, and chase their dreams!
