Your ONLY opportunity to own a piece of IRONMAN history. Mike Reilly, “Voice of IRONMAN”, is retiring after his final race: IRONMAN New Zealand on December 10, 2022. Mike Reilly has called more than 210 IRONMAN races worldwide over the last 33 years, and his iconic call of “You are an IRONMAN!” has been heard by nearly a half million finishers. Mike Reilly has first started waving a towel in Kona in the mid-90s. Used to rev the crowd up as much as possible and waving a towel added more excitement. “The louder I could make it for each finisher in the final hours, the better” says Mike. We will be auctioning off a rally towel used throughout the 2022 season in support of the IRONMAN Foundation. The towel is inscribed with "Anything is Possible" on the front will be embroidered with Mike Reilly's signature.  “I support the IMF and IMF athletes that race for something greater than themselves and because it is the right thing to do. Also, to be able to be a small part of leaving a legacy behind in the communities we race in.” Proceeds benefit IRONMAN Foundation.
