Chris McCormack

A living legend in Triathlon, Chris McCormack is considered one of the best all around Triathletes to ever compete and has now won a World Title in three different decades!

Australian Chris McCormack, known affectionately as ‘Macca’, began competing in Olympic Distance courses in 1996. The following year, he won both the Triathlon World Championships and the ITU World Cup Series! To date, no-one else has ever won both titles in a single year again. Never looking back, Macca continued to win and has become the worlds most winning Triathlete over the past decade. 

In 2002, always eager for a new challenge, Macca shifted his focus to longer distance racing with the Half and Full Ironman’s. McCormack won yet again, claiming victory in both his first Half Ironman as well as his first Ironman. He has since won 13 Ironman titles around the globe and on four occasions he has finished an Ironman under the mythical 8 hours, no two different courses -- a feat no other athlete has ever accomplished, In both 2007 and 2010 McCormack won the Ironman World Championship!


Setting his sites on yet another challenge, McCormack has once again shifted his efforts returning to short course and ITU racing, in hopes of making the 2012 Olympics.

It's been an amazing few days!

April 5, 2011

We've just locked up a deal with Walmart to have the iconic Macca Wheaties box be isolated and have its own display - middle of the isle on it's own pallet, in each and every Walmart across the country!

We've also just learned that Starbucks, nationally, will be carrying Macca's upcoming book! Needless to say, we can't begin to express how huge this is!  Plus, Walmart will also be carrying the book which is available May 29th, though it can be pre-odered now on Amazon.com.

It's great to see two of the worlds largest companies backing, promoting and displaying all things Macca!

Plus, Macca doing what he does best, won another race over the weekend smashing the field.  The Four Seasons Resort Nevis down in the caribbean was the host site and what a truly amazing venue!  Macca lead the race from start to finish with Frenchman, two-time Olympian Marceau, hot on his heels for most of the day.  Macca was able to create a good size gap on the bike and hold the field off on the run.  He's coming into form at the right time just as he always does.
