Past Races

Ryan Knight

North Vancouver, Canada

I am an Australian living in Canada as a Permanent Resident. Growing up in Australia, I was a competitive pool swimmer up until I was 17 years ols. At 21 I started competing in open water events after joining Surf Life Saving as a volunteer lifesaver. I often placed in the top 3 in many age group events.

In 2013, I moved across the globe from Australia to Canada. I currently reside in North Vancouver, British Columbia. After couple of years of living here and not doing any ocean swimming, I set a goal to compete in the Escape from Alcatraz event in 2017, wearing Blueseventy Thermal. I placed second in my age category.

In July 2020, with Ironman's announcement of its return to Penticton, BC I have recently nominated for it. I also nominated for a pre race event at Ironman Victoria 70.3.
