If the minutes from the December 4, 2008 St George, Utah City Council are correct, the newest Ironman race will take place the first Saturday of May in St. George, Utah for at least 5 years.
According to the city council minutes:
"Consider approval of a memorandum of understanding to provide services relating to the IronMan Triathlon.
City Manager Gary Esplin recommended approval of the agreement in the amount of $12,500. A final agreement has not been reached, but staff feels good enough about it to recommend approval subject to final review by the legal department.
Kevin Lewis, representing the Convention & Visitors Bureau, advised that St. George would receive $8 to $10 million dollars in economic impact each year from the event.
The agreement is for five years. The event will be held the first Saturday of May each year and is also being sponsored by Washington County and the Utah Sports Commission."
