Visit Wabash County and the Dam to Dam Wabash County Century Ride committee are pleased to
announce the launch of an extreme triathlon, DAM(N)!MAN! fueled by INGUARD Health. 2020 will mark
the inaugural year for this event to be organized professionally and open to the public for registration.
DAM(N)!MAN! (D!M!) will take place on the same day as the Wabash County Dam to Dam Century Ride
and will incorporate the newest and longest 150-mile bike route. Additionally triathletes who participate in
the D!M! will start the day with a 3.1-mile swim and end the event with a 31-mile run.
What differentiates this triathlon from others like an Ironman is the increased distance of each leg of the
event. A typical long-distance triathlon course consists of a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bicycle ride, and a
26.2-mile (marathon) run. D!M! appeals to a set of triathletes that are looking to conquer their next-level
adventure.
D!M! was co-founded three years ago by a group of local ultra-athletes who wanted to leverage the Dam
to Dam Bike Ride into something more challenging while taking advantage of the natural assets and
landscape of Wabash County.
“D!M! is an awesome grassroots triathlon. Come check it out if you have the nerve, are laughs-focused,
don’t need someone handing you oranges or bossing you around,” said INGUARD’s CEO and ultra-
athlete Parker Beauchamp.
INGUARD Health is a health + wellness company providing wearable devices, healthy food, challenges,
prizes, health analytics, and health insurance to individuals and employers. To advance their mission of
making healthy choices more accessible, Beauchamp supports events that inspire health in Wabash and
around the region.

September 13. The biking event will celebrate its 11 th year. “Visit Wabash County is thrilled about the
addition of the extreme triathlon to our adventure series,” said Katie Jones, marketing assistant for Visit
Wabash County and organizing liaison for the event. “It wouldn’t be possible without the vision and
support from INGUARD Health and their overall commitment to wellness in our community.”
Registration is now open for the triathlon and the bike ride.
