Joe Skipper

Joe Skipper is the first British male ever to go under eight hours over the full distance of triathlon, and held the fastest finish time nationally from 2016 to 2017. He also has five Ironman titles, 15 professional long-course podiums, and a European long distance title under his belt. When one speaks of British excellence in long-course triathlon, it’s Joe who has been one who held down the fort for the past decade.

The boldness and brashness he displays taking on the Sub7 challenge at the last minute puts him among the giants not just of triathlon, but of sport itself. As the great Muhammad Ali once said, “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”
