The Huubcast Presents - The Business Side Of Triathlon

How would you feel if someone scheduled a major event on the same day as yours? We posed this question to Iain Hamilton founder of The Outlaw Triathlon after Ironman announced their Leeds event would coincide with his category-leading long-course event in Nottingham. Iain and his team have spent over 14 years building The Outlaw brand, which is now synonymous with the UK’s best long-course triathlon. In this interview, Iain shares insights into the challenges of staging major events and his journey from elite athlete to the nation’s favourite long-course event organiser.

A British composite engineering firm set out to challenge the bicycle carbon industry by building a bike on our very own shores, designed for the most discerning cyclists. Meet Martin Meir, a triathlete and entrepreneur who set on his journey to create the fastest road bike ever, proudly made in the UK. Discover the journey behind Reap, and the challenges faced along the way in the turbulent bike industry. No one said it would be easy, and it wasn’t. Creating something truly special requires a level of dedication far beyond expectations.

In our latest podcast, we investigate the imbalance within triathlon between men and women. Many stakeholders are exploring ways to broaden the reach of triathlon across the demographic landscape. But do we run the risk of overlooking the glaring discrepancy in male and female participation within the sport? These are the questions we ask Her Spirit co-founder, Holly Woodford. We seek her opinion and perspective from a community working hard to increase female participation in swim, bike, and run. Holly offers some incredible insights and statistics that make us question, "Are we doing all we can?"
