16th Annual Competitor Endurance Sports Awards - February 2, 2008
It started small. A few hundred people gathered at a local San Diego Hotel to give awards to a few
athletes and to honor Dave Scott as the first inductee into the Ironman Hall of Fame. Fifteen years
later, the Competitor Magazine Endurance Sports Awards Gala has become something much, much more. Labeled
"The Academy Awards of Endurance Sports" by Entertainment Tonight, the evening sells out with 600 attendees
at spectacular Sea World. Those in attendance get to see the world's greatest endurance athletes up close
and personal. Greg LeMond, Ron Kiefel, Davis Phinney, Alexi Grewal and Rebecca Twigg from cycling. Steve
Scott, Rod Dixon, Alberto Salazar, Deena Kastor, Henry Rono, Billy Mills, Meb Keflezighi and Eamonn
Coghlan from running. Dave Scott, Paula Newby-Fraser, Mark Allen, Scott Tinley, Peter Reid, Heather Fuhr,
Greg Welch and Natascha Badmann from triathlon. Plus special awards to Sports Illustrated, Dateline and
MTV for showcasing our sports to the world and to celebrities like Will Ferrell and David James Elliott
for embracing the endurance sports lifestyle.
There is a bond between the runner, the triathlete and the cyclist. While their equipment might be different, the dedication and effort it takes to succeed are exactly the same.
The Competitor Magazine Endurance Sports Awards Gala was created to celebrate the accomplishments of these amazing athletes. It is an evening that is guaranteed to motivate and inspire.
It is an evening you do not want to miss.
