The event is expected to bring 2,000 athletes and their families from around the world to Rhode Island and provide an economic boost for the state.
“It’s a tremendous opportunity for us to show the world what Providence and all of Rhode Island has to offer,” Martha Sheridan, president and CEO of the Providence & Warwick Convention Visitors Bureau, said in a statement.
“The state of Rhode Island has a strong athletic tradition and looks forward to hosting this international event through 2010,” said Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline, who announced the event at a news conference this morning.
The athletes will be competing for a $25,000 prize and 50 qualifying slots in the 2008 Ironman World Championship 70.3, taking place Nov. 8, 2008, in Clearwater, Fla.
