Gordon Ramsay building Ironman team

In support of the Gordon Ramsay foundation, the chef himself will be building an army of 100 strong-willed men to join him in a gruelling half-Ironman challenge.

The event on June 14 2014 in Staffordshire, will consist of a 1.2 mile swim, a 56 mile bike ride and a 13.1 mile run.
