The Man with the Turbo

“Yo Yo Yo!”—when Sam Long shows up, energy is guaranteed. The American is one of the world’s best long-distance triathletes and is known for his aggressive racing style. At 1.93 meters tall, he’s a force to be reckoned with on the bike, and his running is now almost just as feared. He discovered triathlon while rehabbing from a knee injury sustained while skiing. Since then, he has racked up 22 professional victories, including the Ironman Coeur d’Alene (2021) and Ironman Chattanooga (2019 and 2024). He finished second at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in St. George (2021). Sam is a self-coached athlete and likes to question conventional methods.

The Comeback King with Big Goals

Sam’s career hasn’t been without setbacks. In 2022, he was struck by a car during training—yet he still lined up at the start of the Ironman World Championship in St. George shortly afterward. At Ironman Frankfurt (2024), he missed out on qualifying for Hawaii. That made his joy all the greater when he finally secured his ticket to Kona with a second-place finish at Ironman Arizona (2025). In his professional debut in Hawaii (2026), he finished sixth—his best Ironman performance ever. As the father of two sons, Sam proves that world-class competition and family life go hand in hand. His goals: to compete for the World Championship title and to secure the most 70.3 victories of all time by the end of his career.
