EPIC 5 in Kona – 5 Days, 5 Hawaiian Islands

On May 5 2010, lauded endurance athletes Jason Patrick Lester and Richard Roll attempted the impossible – 5 iron distance triathlons in 5 consecutive days on 5 Hawaiian Islands. 12 mile Swim / 560 mile Bike / 131 mile Run.

The brainchild of Lester, EPIC5 was an unprecedented athletic and spiritual odyssey that began May 5, 2010 on the island of Kauai before traveling on consecutive days to O’ahu, Moloka’I and Maui and concluding in Kona on May 9th. Each day entailed a 2.4 mile swim, 112-mile bike and 26 mile run.

Never previously attempted, EPIC5 raised the bar as a challenge of unparalleled endurance that tasked the limits of mind, body and spirit while capturing the hearts and souls of the public.
