Again we are pioneers, just like when we created the Nelore (both cyclists must weigh more than 90 kg). To participate in the Iron Rider it is simple, the athletes just have to prove the conclusion of a long distance triathlon event, with the sum of 226 km between swimming, pedaling and running, or so they have finished the intermediate distance of approximately 113 km twice ", explains Mario Roma, founder of Brasil Ride.
