🌺🏝️ KONA IS HERE! 💜🔥Please give each of these slides a read🫶.

Five athletes. Five different journeys. One of the biggest stages in our sport.

We couldn’t be prouder of Trevor, Gavin, Francesca, Michael, and Jason as they take on the Ironman World Championship tomorrow!

Countless hours, early mornings, and sacrifices have led to this moment. Each of these athletes embodies everything Foley Athletics stands for, and we can’t wait to watch them leave it all out there.

To our athletes and everyone else toeing the line tomorrow, GOOD LUCK! We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way! 💜🤙

ALL HARD WORK. NO TALENT. 🔥

The Artsgarden was absolutely ALIVE Saturday night. 🔥

Sarah & Michael brought 150 of their favorite people together, and once the dance floor opened, they understood the assignment.

Great crowd. Packed floor. One seriously beautiful place to throw a party.

The seating chart officially left the chat. 😂

Congratulations, Sarah & Michael! 🥂

2027 is already shaping up to be a BIG year for Foley Athletics. 🔥

We’re excited to officially introduce our 2027 Foley Athletics Team Races. Three opportunities to bring the crew together, show up in numbers, and compete at the highest level. From the season kickoff in California, to Happy Valley, and all the way to one of the most iconic races in the sport at Lake Placid, we’re ready to make some noise. 😈

🌴 TEAM RACE # 1 — IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside
📍 Oceanside, CA April 3, 2027

🦁 TEAM RACE # 2 — IRONMAN 70.3 Pennsylvania Happy Valley
📍 State College, PA May 23, 2027

⛰️ TEAM RACE # 3 — IRONMAN Lake Placid
📍 Lake Placid, NY July 25, 2027

We want a BIG Foley Athletics showing at all three. Whether you’re racing for a PR, chasing the podium, taking on a new distance, or coming out to support the team, these weekends are about bringing the entire crew together.

And of course, we’ll be racing for more than individual results. The goal is 🥇 TriClub at every stop. 👊

Three races. One team. A whole lot of purple. 🟣

2027, we’re coming. 🔥
